Wagner Die Valküre on Germany stamps from 1933
LS Klein reviews the Wagner opera Die Valküre as a landmark work where Brunnhilde guards Siegmund, Wotan bans her from escape with a fire wall, and a hero must cross the flames. The piece notes the opera completed in 1856 and widely staged after 1870, illustrated on a 1933 Germany postage stamp.
