The second opera in the mighty "Ring cycle", "Die Walkure" remains among the most popular and frequently performed of Wagner's works. From its gripping opening - in which the hero finds himself weaponless in the house of his enemy - to its heartrending finale - when a father bids a final farewell to his favourite daughter - generations of listeners have thrilled and swooned to this story and its magical music. This vocal score of the complete opera, with lyrics in both German and English, features a piano reduction of the orchestral part and is ideal for study, rehearsal, and concert performances.
