Greer Grimsley

Besteci Steven Lauddem, büyük geri dönüş operasının müziklerini tamamlayamamasına neden olan yaratıcılık konusunda bir engel yaşıyor. Eşi olan eski terapisti Patricia, şehirde kaybolarak yaratıcılığını yeniden canlandırmasını önerdiğinde Steven ilham arayışına çıkar. Onun aydınlanması, Katrina adında canlı bir kadınla tanıştıktan ve hayatının umduğundan ya da hayal edebileceğinden çok daha fazla potansiyele sahip olduğunu keşfettikten sonra gelir.

Soprano Christine Goerke plays Brünnhilde, Wotan’s willful warrior daughter, who loses her immortality in opera’s most famous act of filial defiance. In this Live in HD transmission of Die Walküre, the second and most popular installment in the composer’s sweeping tetralogy, Goerke is joined by bass-baritone Greer Grimsley as Brünnhilde godly father, Wotan, and mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton as his unbending wife, Fricka. As the incestuous lovers Siegmund and Sieglinde, soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek and tenor Stuart Skelton—alongside bass Günther Groissböck as Sieglinde’s bloodthirsty husband, Hunding—round out the principal cast. And on the podium, Maestro Philippe Jordan conducts Robert Lepage’s innovative staging, which uses state-of-the-art stage technology to tell Wagner’s mythic tale.
