Christos Lambrakis Hall

The artistic world created by the great German composer and poet, Richard Wagner, continues to exert an undimmed fascination on all those that enter it. Two famous preludes to his musical dramas are the perfect introduction to the First Act of Die Walküre (The Valkyrie), one of the most lyrical and emotionally-laden moments in his entire Ring Cycle. The lead roles are sung by three Wagnerians of international renown.
