Katarina Dalayman will sing the role of Brünnhilde in this evening’s performance of Wagner’s Götterdämmerung, replacing Deborah Voigt, who is ill.
Dalayman, who sang Brünnhilde in the February 3 performance of Götterdämmerung and in the Met’s 2008-09 season, is scheduled to sing the role in complete Ring cycles this April and May. She made her Met debut as Brangäne in Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde in 1999 and has also sung the Duchess of Parma in Busoni’s Doktor Faust, Lisa in Tchaikovsky’s The Queen of Spades, Isolde in Tristan und Isolde, Brünnhilde and Sieglinde in Wagner’s Die Walküre, and Marie in Berg’s Wozzeck.
Götterdämmerung, conducted by Fabio Luisi, also stars Wendy Bryn Harmer as Gutrune, Waltraud Meier as Waltraute, Jay Hunter Morris as Siegfried, Iain Paterson as Gunther, Eric Owens as Alberich, and Hans-Peter König as Hagen.
