Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall

Wagner's Greatest Hits

David Danzmayr, Conductor
Christine Goerke, Soprano

Smyth: The Wreckers Overture
Wagner:  Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan and Isolde
Wagner: Selections from The Valkyrie and Twilight of the Gods

One of today’s most lauded Wagnerian sopranos, Christine Goerke traverses stunning highlights of the composer’s operatic canon at this not-to-be missed concert. Tristan and Isolde delves into the mysteries of love and death as Isolde sings herself into rapturous oblivion. David Danzmayr also leads the Oregon Symphony in orchestral highlights from The Valkyrie and Twilight of the Gods. In the spine-tingling “Ride of the Valkyries,” the warrior maidens ride their flying steeds as they carry fallen heroes to Valhalla; and you’ll be enthralled by Siegfried’s heroic Rhine Journey and gripping Funeral March. Surrender to the drama and passion of Wagner’s music.
