After the rule of the gods had reached its shining zenith at the end of the RHEINGOLD with the move into Valhalla Castle, the signs in the WALKÜRE are pointing to storm: people are frozen in greed for power, mistrust and possessiveness, the gods only limit themselves to to monitor compliance with the old laws instead of questioning their meaning. The siblings Siegmund and Sieglinde are abandoned to death because there is no room for their love in this system. And the Valkyrie Brünnhilde falls under the spell when she dares to act contrary to the verdict of her father Wotan and to protect the couple. In WALKÜRE he makes it clear whose side Wagner is on: in the great love scene of Siegmund and Sieglinde, in which the natural force of love triumphs over all social commandments, but also in the development of Brünnhilde, whose actions, initially only guided by intuitive compassion, become conscious resistance to inhumanity and injustice.
