Wagner in Vermont: Die Walkure

TUNDI 2023 Wagner in Vermont Festival presents Die Walkure by Richard Wagner on Friday, August 18, at 4:00pm and Tuesday, August 22, at 4:00pm. Tickets range from $36-$200.

Wotan's favored daughter, Brünnhilde, has to deal with her father's controlling nature and malevolent actions. At great cost to herself, she asserts her values of love, freedom, and emancipation. This most serious work of the Ring Cycle starts in rough woodland homesteads, and ascends to epic, cosmological heights.

Act I is one of the greatest love scenes, ever. Act II shows us family bonds stretched to breaking point, in reaction to this defiant, unacceptable love.

Act III finally reveals the sisterhood of the Valkyries at their grim work. It is hair-raising to experience 'The Ride of the Valkyries', the most thrilling of Wagner's set-pieces, in the Latchis Theatre, with its balcony, galleries and stage to sing from. Already this scene is a TUNDI signature. The drama that follows brings implacable, toxic rage; music of birth and transformation; and finally, sublime music of parting as Wotan summons Magic Fire for Brünnhilde: Lebwohl...

There will be breaks for dining and refreshment of 90 and 25 minutes between acts.

Wagner in Vermont: Siegfried

TUNDI 2023 Wagner in Vermont Festival presents Siegfried by Richard Wagner on Sunday, August 20, at 4:00pm and Thursday, August 24, at 4:00pm. Tickets range from $36-$200

An orphaned boy, brought up deep in the forest, is growing up. He asks uncomfortable questions as he starts to seek independence from his foster-parent, Mime. The boy is Siegfried, who will fully emancipate himself from Mime (come and find out how!), slay a dragon, learn the speech of a spirit-bird to guide him, and unwittingly enter the cosmic struggle between immortals for the baleful Ring.

He will – also unwittingly – change the balance of the whole cosmos by casually breaking the rune-spear of an old Wanderer. This action is an access to the peace and freedom that his own grandfather, Wotan, yearns for.

He experiences fear only when removing Brünnhilde's armor from her sleeping body, ringed by Magic Fire on a mountaintop.

The music of Siegfried is one of the miracles of art: we are privileged to hear and see nature in its purest, magical beauty, and the dawning of love. The music also tells of innocence, spite, heroism, good and evil – alongside a grey-scale of uncertainty and hesitation lying in between these emotional states.

The love of Siegfried and Brünnhilde that ensues will save the world. TUNDI wishes that for our own world.

Siegfried is in three acts, There will be breaks for dining and refreshment of 90 minutes and 25 minutes between acts.
