Episode 13 – Wotan’s Rage, etc. (Act 3)

Previously on Soft Valkyrie. Brunhilde arrived at the Valkyrie’s
rock, where her sisters were gathering with corpses of heroes to
bring to Valhalla, Wotan’s debt-plagued palace of death. She
asked for someone to help with Sieglinde, who exited East with a
sublime finale. But no sooner was this goal achieved than Wotan
appeared in a fury, preparing to inflict the severest punishment
on his daughter for her insubordination.
