Opera: DIE WALKÜRE (Der Ring des Nibelungen)

by Richard Wagner
Teatro alla Scala, Milan
2026-03-03 and 2026-03-11 (Der Ring des Nibelungen)

Discover La Scala’s complete Ring of the Nibelung

Die Walküre transports audiences into the unforgettable realm of the “Ring of the Nibelung,” where gods and mortals are inextricably intertwined. As the second installment in Wagner’s monumental tetralogy, the opera reveals an unmatched emotional intensity: destiny, love, and betrayal shape every scene, and the famous “Ride of the Valkyries” has captivated opera enthusiasts worldwide. Performances on March 3 and 11, 2026, promise a riveting experience that celebrates the dramatic conflicts between the god Wotan, his rebellious daughters, and desperate mortals.

The performances of Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried, and Götterdämmerung in March 2026 are part of the full Ring of the Nibelung cycle by Richard Wagner, staged at Teatro alla Scala in Milan. These productions can currently only be booked as a complete package including all four operas. Individual tickets are not available at this time. Remaining seats for selected performances may be released at a later date, depending on availability. This cycle offers a rare opportunity for music lovers to experience Wagner’s monumental work in its entirety at one of Europe’s most prestigious opera houses.

Teatro alla Scala, a Milanese landmark since its inauguration in 1778, stands among the world’s most prestigious opera houses. Its grand façade and opulent interior—adorned with red velvet seating and gilded boxes—create an atmosphere of supreme elegance. La Scala’s acoustics illuminate every nuance of Wagner’s lush orchestration, and the venue has hosted legendary performances by icons such as Maria Callas and Plácido Domingo. Located in the vibrant heart of Milan, the theater invites visitors to blend art and culture with city life. Excellent transport links also allow for easy excursions to Lake Como, Lake Garda, or historic Lombard cities like Bergamo and Cremona. A visit to La Scala thus becomes the quintessential cultural highlight of northern Italy.

First day of Der Ring des Nibelungen

The Nibelung Alberich forged a ring from the gold of the Rhine, which signifies dominion over the world. The god Wotan wants to rule with wisdom, but succumbs to the desire for power and violence. He steals the Rheingold ring from Alberich in order to pay the giants to build his castle of the gods, Valhalla.
Wotan fathers twins Siegmund and Sieglinde with a human woman, but they are separated by a curse.

Die Walküre, the first day, takes place in the human world with the protagonists Sieglinde, Hunding and Siegmund. Sieglinde is Hunding’s wife and Siegmund appears wounded in her house, where he is being cared for by Sieglinde. The two feel a deep connection to each other.
Wotan fathered more Wälse, which earned him the punishment of his wife Fricka. The Valkyrie Brünnhilde is Wotan’s favorite daughter.
Siegmund and Sieglinde, pregnant through incest, flee. Brünnhilde announces Sieglinde’s death and wants to hand her over to Valhalla’s delights, which Siegmund prevents through his love. The Valkyrie Brünnhilde is deeply moved by this and defies Wotan’s orders. As punishment, Brünnhilde has to sleep in the circle of fire and can only be saved by a free fearless hero. Sieglinde gave birth to this hero as her son Siegfried.
The music «Valkyrie Ride» and «Fire Magic» are the most famous pieces from Valkyrie.
