Traft ihr das Schiff
R. Wagner
"Traft ihr das Schiff" (Senta's Ballad) from Wagner's opera "Die Fliegende Holländer" finds Senta passionately narrating the legend of the cursed Dutchman and his ghostly ship to a captivated crowd, revealing her deep fascination and yearning for a redemptive love beyond the mortal realm. In this version from Opera Sustenida, our chorus are haunted portraits for this very spooky version.
Ritorna Vincitor!
G. Verdi
Ivan Jovanovic, piano
In Verdi’s Aida, the princess Aida has been taken captive and serves at the Egyptian court. She secretly loves the warrior Radamès, who has just been chosen to lead the army into battle. In her aria “Ritorna vincitor!” (“Return victorious!”), Aida joins the people’s cry for his victory—then is overcome with torment. If Radamès triumphs, her family and homeland will fall; if her side prevails, she risks losing the man she loves. Pulled between duty and passion, she collapses under the weight of her divided heart
Ride of the Valkyries
R. Wagner
The famous "Ride of the Valkyries" scene from Wagner's opera "Die Walküre" features a powerful and exhilarating musical portrayal of the Valkyries, warrior maidens riding through the skies to gather fallen heroes from the battlefield.
In Opera Sustenida's version, our Valkyries are right out of Gotham City in this Batman-inspired video.
