Valkyries in popular culture
In modern media, the Valkyrie BrĂĽnnhilde, accompanied by the Ride of the Valkyries, is one of the most recognizable visual and aural motifs from opera, notwithstanding the fact that, in Act III of Die WalkĂĽre, the Ride takes place before she appears on stage. These depictions have subsequently led to modern representations of valkyries less as gore-spattered, shrieking and wolf-riding figures in a battle's sky but more commonly as angelic, pristine white and gold clad figures riding winged horses.
