Supplemental context
The Greek National Opera distinguishes Die Walküre's first performance in Munich on 26 June 1870 from its later presentation within the complete Ring cycle. Its account also notes the use of Ride of the Valkyries in Coppola's 1979 Apocalypse Now. Preserving these separate contexts would allow future audiences to compare an operatic passage with the meanings created by its cinematic reuse.
Creator/community: Richard Wagner; subsequent orchestral, operatic and film interpreters Place/era: Germany; Die Walküre premiere 1870, later international adaptations
Context and limits
The opera, concert excerpt and film soundtrack are different versions and experiences. The film's use of music in warfare is not a literal account of the opera's story, nor an endorsement of violence. The invented storm-stage illustration is not a historical production or copied film scene; visible score-like marks are not authentic notation.
