“[Asher] Fisch and his first-rate players provided the surging energy that fueled an unforgettable Die Walküre,” writes Melanie Bargreen in The Seattle Times, adding that Stuart and his Sieglinde, Margaret Jane Wray, were “opulent of voice, passionately convincing as actors, and persuasive in their ardor.” Bachtrack’s Ilana Walder-Biesanz awards the performance five stars, praising its “energetic playing and singing, gorgeous stage pictures, and devastatingly believable acting from all of the singers” and saying of Stuart’s Siegmund, “We are very fortunate that such a consummate actor also sings divinely, with pure notes and unmatchable intensity.” Watch Seattle Opera’s trailer for Die Walküre below:
