| Die Walkure : 4 of 5 | |

 Austin Lyric Opera did a wonderful job of making Austin's first performance of Wagner a big event. I had once seen Das Rheingold on TV, but this was my first experience with the standard four hours plus Wagner extravaganza. Die Walkure was incredible, with excellent performances (Brunhilde being my favorite) and sets, and the music is just so wonderful that the time really does pass quickly - long arias are made truly exciting by sheer orchestration alone. The story is fantastic pre-Tolkien fantasy, which satisfied my non-opera pal Chris who went along for the evening. Now I would love to see the other three operas of the Ring Cycle!
