About this episode
S4E4 The Ring Cycle: Die Walkure (2 of 4)
David presents part 2 of 4 short episodes on the Ring of Power. A Jungian interpretation of Wagner's 4 part Opera inspired by the high German version of Saga of the Volsungs (Nibelungenlied - Song of the Nibelung).
Opera 2, Die Walkure (The Valkyrie) presents the interplay of how the gods influence the lives of mortals. Odin wants to create a hero with free will who can obtain the ring of power for him. But if he influenced the lives of mortals, do they really have free will?
The Valkyrie Brunhilde is introduced as the archetype of "the female warrior with love." She counters Odin's lust for power as she is inspired by Sigmund's love.
But to betray the gods she must pay the ultimate sacrifice. Which is necessary for the birth of our hero…
