Jaap van Zweden conducts Die Walküre (1. Akt)

Die Walküre, the second part of Wagner’s iconic Ring des Nibelungen, was conceived as a theatrical spectacle with a hidden orchestra. The Antwerp Symphony Orchestra flips the script, placing the music front and centre in a concert performance free of visual additions. Under the baton of Jaap van Zweden, the orchestra and soloists reveal the full dramatic power of Wagner’s score, proving it shines even without staging. Immerse yourself in the epic tale of Siegmund and Sieglinde, and let the music transport you to a world of myth, passion, and timeless emotion.
