"De Walkure" by Richard Wagner and illustrated Arthur Rackham 

Amsterdam, Holkema & Warendorf - 1911, first Dutch edition (deluxe edition in cream binding) - 97p, 25cmx18cm  - complete with 17 colored plates incl. frontispiece by Arthur Rackham - condition: very good copy, with in cream binding, minor rubbing to edges, some page foxing,  name to ffep, all tipped-in plates present.

Die Walküre (The Valkyrie), WWV 86B, is the second of the four music dramas that constitute Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, (English: The Ring of the Nibelung). It was performed, as a single opera, at the National Theatre Munich on 26 June 1870, and received its first performance as part of the Ring cycle at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus on 14 August 1876.

 The story of Die Walküre is based on the Norse mythology told in the Volsunga Saga and the Poetic Edda. In this version the Volsung twins Sieglinde and Siegmund, separated in childhood, meet and fall in love. This union angers the gods who demand that Siegmund must die. Sieglinde and the couple's unborn child are saved by the defiant actions of Wotan's daughter, the title character, Valkyrie Brünnhilde, who as a result faces the gods' retribution.
