The Valkyries
Performed at the Detroit Opera House
September 17, 18, & 20, 2022

Music and Libretto by Richard Wagner
Conducted by Sir Andrew Davis

The Valkyries, Yuval Sharon's staging of Die Walküre, Act III, uses filmmaking technology such as green screens to bring Die Walküre to life. This is the third time Sharon has used green screen technology for stage productions, following two cinematic adaptations: Andrew Norman's Trip to the Moon, inspired by the 1902 silent film of the same title, and Olga Neuwirth's adaptation of David Lynch's Lost Highway. In The Valkyries, Sharon draws on the proto-cinematic nature of Wagner's vision.
