Publisher's Synopsis
The Rhinegold and The Valkyrie is a two-part opera written by the German composer Richard Wagner. The first part, The Rhinegold, tells the story of the theft of the Rhinegold, a powerful magical ring that gives its owner immense power and wealth. The second part, The Valkyrie, follows the story of Siegmund and Sieglinde, two siblings who fall in love and are pursued by their vengeful father, Wotan. The opera is set in a mythical world of gods, giants, and heroes, and explores themes of power, love, betrayal, and redemption. Wagner's music is known for its grandeur and complexity, and The Rhinegold and The Valkyrie are considered masterpieces of the operatic genre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
