Previously on Soft Valkyrie. Brunnhilde, resigned to disappear into her coma, begged Wotan to at least surround her with a magic fire that will scare away everyday adventurers so that only the most fearless of heroes might manage to awaken her. Wotan is deeply moved by this proposal and accepts it. The two cherish their final moments together in soft eyes, embraces, kisses, and a sweet lullaby. Thank you for listening to Soft Valkyrie, we hope you’ve enjoyed the show. This has been a co-production between Holland Festival, Staatsoper Hanover, and Dutch National Opera, with additional support from NTR radio and Goethe Institut. Special thanks to Jochem Valkenburg at Holland Festival, Jasper Berben and Manon Scheurs at Reinekwint, and the Sound departments at Staatstheater Hannover, Soho Square Studios London, and Splendor Amsterdam. An uncut version of the full opera following along with the vocal score is available on YouTube. The uncut piece is also available for free download at davidkanaga.bandcamp.com.
