Erda’s Warning

Anne Gjevang (above) as Erda and Hans Sotin as Wotan in this fascinatingly mysterious scene from DAS RHEINGOLD:

Weiche Wotan! – RHEINGOLD – Anne Gjevang and Hans Sotin – Met bcast 1~16~88

“Yield it, Wotan, yield it!
Flee the ring’s dread curse!
To dark destruction –
irredeemably –
its possession dooms you.”
