Performance on 3 - Wagner: Gotterdammerung - Wagner: Gotterdammerung - Acts 2 and 3

Presented by Martin Handley. Mark Elder conducts the Halle Orchestra, with Lars Cleveman as Siegfried and Katarina Dalayman as Brunnhilde in a celebrated production of the second and third acts of Wagner's Gotterdammerung. The love between Siegfried and Brunnhilde is doomed and, as the Norns predicted, the final catastrophe is impending. In the darkness of night, Hagen's sleep is interrupted by Alberich appearing through the moonlight, urging him to murder Siegfried and to seize the ring from his finger. The drama threads its way through love potions, fatal deceptions, the Rhine's bursting of its banks and the fiery destruction of Valhalla with its gods and heroes.
