I think the show is almost over.

Brilliant composition performed brilliantly!

[Blennos]

Wagner. Not a nice man, but what an opera composer! Magnificent.

But what’s with the paltry applause at the end? Was this not recorded with an audience?

Ride of the Valkyries’ | Apocalypse Now

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

"Wir sind alle versammelt!" Excepting the Siegrune.

Mar 18, 2021, so it's likely the Covid restrictions made for a smaller audience which could not sit next to one another.

Well of course I kinda liked the young lady singing the asian Valkyrie part best, probably the closest one will ever get to seeing Michelle Yeoh singing Wagner. Except for her... yes, this is going to wrap into the finale.

Trivia item for the performance is the presence of the Wagner Tuba, if one recalls correctly, spec'd personally by Herr Wagner especially and particularly for this piece. /flashback 1973

[OKSooner]

(Yeah, sure. There were Asian Valkyries. Just ask Wagner.)

“Ride of the Valkyries’ | Apocalypse Now”
Best use of it in a movie by far.
I like the whole opera, but I also like Metallica. Only music I don’t like is Hip Hop and Rap. Not compatible with my culture.

Real music. The art of musical composition has been long lost. Comparing the “music” of today’s “composers” like John Cage to Wagner’s music is like comparing Hunter Biden’s paintings to Rembrandt’s.

Kudos! Totally apt and accurate.

Act three scene one if you want to follow along with the words.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

” KILL THE WABBIT!” made me fall in love with Classical music as a child. Got lots of Wagner’s music and the DVD of the movie EXCALIBUR(1981).

(Yeah, sure. There were Asian Valkyries. Just ask Wagner.)

Is she an exchange Valkyrie who had been picking up dead Samurai?

[OKSooner]

Yeah... Yeah, that’s the ticket.

[OKSooner]

One is inclined to agree with you, but who in tarnation even IS John Cage?
