Fortitude Productions presents Richard Wagner’s Die Walküre in a distinctive concert performance with piano accompaniment on Sunday 18 January at Knutson Studios in Berlin-Steglitz.
Performed in full, the opera is heard in an intimate setting that brings listeners exceptionally close to Wagner’s music drama.
With musical direction by Matthew Toogood, who also provides the piano accompaniment, this performance strips the work back to its musical and dramatic core. Freed from staging, Die Walküre unfolds with the focus and immediacy of a Liederabend, allowing the voices, text, and harmonic tensions to emerge with striking clarity and emotional intensity.
An outstanding international cast of Wagnerian singers brings the characters’ psychological depth and dramatic conflicts vividly to life. The concert format offers fresh insight into familiar scenes, revealing new transparency and expressive detail within Wagner’s monumental score.
This event invites both seasoned Wagner audiences and newcomers to experience Die Walküre in a concentrated, compelling form that foregrounds musical storytelling at its most direct.
