Tristan and Isolde is a very known Story in Europe. Especially in Germany. Thanks to Richard Wagners Opera with the same name, it became so popular King Ludwig II. of Bayern commissioned a Tristan and Isolde Painting for his Neuschwanstein Castle! It's painted by August Spieß (1881) and in his bedroom!

Here you can see the Painting in the Bedroom and how big it actually is. On the full Painting you can see Brangaine in the Background as well, what a sight to behold!

Tell us about the history of opera!

Opera is a type of theater in which everybody is always singing. The first known opera ever composed was "Akhnaten" by Philip Glass. The style it was composed in was so simple compared to newer operae by more daring operators that it is now considered "minimalist."

The next major opering to make an impact was "The Lord of the Rings" by Richard Wagner. Wagner's take on the form was a colossal epic with massive mechanical dragons, a cast of several thousand singers, flying horses, magic fire, and a climax in which case the entire opera house would be burned down with each performance, then rebuilt for the evening show. This type of opera, due to its scale, was termed, "Gesamtkunstwerk," which is German for "Totally Major Stuff."

Opera continues to be performed to this day, with operoids of all shapes, sizes, lengths and aromas. Famous current operillions include "Disney's Lion King," "Disney's Aladdin," "Disney's Hamilton," and "Disney's Dionysus in 69."

Fans who attend several such shows are known as "Opera Browsers," and those who do so in secret are called "Opera Crypto Browsers."

"Oh Bwunhilda, you're so wooveey."

Fun fact: The tune for Bugs and Elmer's romantic duet as Brunhild and Siegfried is not from "The Ring Cycle" but the overture for different Wagner Opera; Tannhäuser.

Rough sketch of Brünnhilde from Wagner’s “Ring Cycle” opera. I love the idea of the Valkyries looking like vultures…they fly around looking for dead bodies to gather , just like real vultures 🦅 💀. Also I based her armor on actual Viking armor…wish the opera productions had more historically accurate Viking costumes, since this is based on Norse mythology.

Ok. Can we talk about The Ballad of the Fjords again. This is all extremely obvious but I'm starting to see the value of writing down obvious things.

I've been thinking about Kaeya's surname pretty much since his release. Because, you know, Alberich. The svartálfar king who safekeeps Nibelung's treasure in Nibelungenlied ("The Song of Nibelungs", 13th century poem. do you see the parallel with "The Ballad of the Fjords"?). And now three years later we have things to tie it back to.

The Things:

The dragon Nibelung who acquired the forbidden knowledge from outside this world and led the other ancient dragons into war against The Heavenly Principles (according to Nahida's second quest).

Nibelung refers to all kinds of creatures in Norse and Old German stories, sometimes it's a dragon, somethimes it's a group of svartálfar (dwarves/elves/fae, for simplicity).

Rhinedottir the alchemist, the creator of our beloved horrors. Theorised to be the one who discovered/created something that led to Khaenri'ahs downfall.

She's a reference to Rhinemaidens invented by Wagner, spirits of watery depth and keepers of magical gold. If you were looking for Enkanomiya/primordial sea/whale connections, here's another one.

Also in Wagner's operas Alberich is the main antagonist of the Rings of Nibelung cycle (one of the few characters that stay alive too!), the one who steals the gold from the Rhinemaidens (renouncing love in exchange for power) and the one whos actions lead to the death of gods and the desctruction of Valhalla.

(something something arrogation of mankind obligatory mention)

And now we have The Ballad of the Fjords BP spear and its description:

If this is not a Nibelung mythos reference I don't know what this is.

#I AM NOT OKAY #I refuse to be okay about this #*frothing at the mouth* #do you see my vision #DO YOU SEE IT #*incomprehensible chanting* #kaeya #khaenri'ah #rhinedottir #childe #tartaglia #skirk #I can't believe genshin will make me listen to wagner's operas #I'm a baroque girl through and through #not a wagner person at all #waaaah

I just think all the terror girlies(gn) should get into The Flying Dutchman by Wagner because the main character is literally a woman who's been obsessed with the legend of a doomed sailor since she was little and then he appears in real life and tells her that she can break his curse but only by marrying him

“Weh! Weh! Süssestes Weib! Du traurigste aller Getreuen! Gegen dich wütet in Waffen die Welt: und ich, dem du einzig vertraut, für den du ihr einzig getrotzt, mit meinem Schutz nicht soll ich dich schirmen, die Kühne verraten im Kampf? Ha, Schande ihm, der das Schwert mir schuf, beschied er mir Schimpf für Sieg! Muss ich denn fallen, nicht fahr' ich nach Walhall: Hella halte mich fest!”

- Richard Wagner, Die Walküre

Arturo Toscanini conducts Richard Wagner's 'Ride of the Valkyries', 1948.
