Mighty Valkyrie maidens soar through the skies, carrying fallen heroes to Valhalla. But dark forces plot to seize the gods' power. Brünnhilde, the most fearless of the Valkyries, must choose between obeying her father Wotan or defying him to save the world from ruin. Wagner's sweeping score surges with the thunder of hooves and the clash of swords, as mortal and immortal lives intertwine in a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the fate of the gods.
