RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES! (World Premiere)
written + directed by James Blaszko // narrated by David Hyde Pierce // conducted by David Angus // choreographed by Taylor McMahon // video design by Joshua Higgason
Boston Lyric Opera, November 2025
What starts as Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries explodes into a madcap operatic mashup. BLO kicks things off with that thunderous prelude—then gleefully romps through showstopping arias, unexpected twists, and musical spectacle. With powerhouse performers Lise Lindström and Morris Robinson at the helm, and David Angus leading members of the BLO Orchestra, this is a concert with no brakes and all bravado.
