Starring Plácido Domingo, "the world's greatest Siegmund."
- The Associated Press
"You really must beg, borrow, steal, or preferably buy a ticket to see Plácido Domingo as Siegmund," exhorts The London Times. This compelling love story between the doomed hero and his soulmate features some of Wagner's most memorable music. Highlights include Siegmund's heroic "Spring Song" ("Winterstürme"), the love duet ("Du bist der Lenz"), the rousing "Ride of the Valkyries", Wotan's heart-breaking "Farewell" to his beloved daughter ("Leb wohl"), and the "Magic Fire Music" finale. James Conlon conducts a world-celebrated cast, including Linda Watson (Brünnhilde), Michelle DeYoung (Sieglinde), Vitalij Kowaljow (Wotan), and Eric Halfvarson (Hunding).
