It is about a pair of siblings who have lost each other and then find each other again. It is about incestuous love, adultery and affairs. It is about power and intrigue. But it is also about love, trust and the search for happiness. And it is about a ring that represents the future of the world. Richard Wagner's Die Walküre begins as a simple love triangle in which two people fall in love and a third suffers. But as the opera progresses, the deeper dimension of this entanglement becomes apparent and the perspective broadens beyond the purely human. It is nothing less than a part of the global epic The Ring of the Nibelung , which Richard Wagner created with Die Walküre .

Die Walküre

Opernhaus Dortmund

The twins Fadeya and Taseh decide to find their father, who has been missing for many years. He is not just anyone, but the ruler of Sultania, a faraway country in the desert. The path to his palace turns out to be dangerous: the children encounter a hungry giant snake, are almost washed away by a raging river and have to overcome an almost insurmountable wall. Magical figures and all-knowing objects help the resourceful twins on their journey. Their most important companion: a talking camel!
