“What thou know’st not find’st thou in me; yet only from my love cometh my wisdom!” — Brünnhilde in Wagner's “Siegfried” „Was du nicht weißt, weiß ich für dich; doch wissend bin ich nur, weil ich dich liebe!“ — Brünnhilde in Wagners „Siegfried” This photo was published on Megan Marie Hart's official Facebook with the above quote in original German and English translation. The quote is from the final scene of Richard Wagner's opera "Siegfried.” Brünnhilde is in a magical sleep on a rock surrounded by fire. The mythical hero Siegfried passes through the fire and awakens Brünnhilde with a kiss. This photo has apparently been taken on the real Brunhildisfelsen (Brünnhilde's rock) which inspired the plot of Richard Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen" opera cycle. It is located on a mountain near Frankfurt, Germany.
Megan Marie Hart is standing on the summit of the Loreley cliff on the Rhine in Germany. This cliff inspired the fairytale about a virgin whose singing enchants sailors and leads to their demise in the rapids. German writer Heinrich Heine's poem titled "Die Lore-Ley" has been set to music by many composers. Megan Marie Hart's rendition of the art song "Die Loreley" by Franz Liszt was one of three songs resulting in her 2010 win of the prestigious Marilyn Horne Song Competition. The photo was posted on her official Facebook with a poem about the Loreley. It was not, however, the poem by Heinrich Heine, but a different one by German writer Clemens Brentano! As a true opera nerd, Megan Marie Hart is wearing a T-Shirt that seems to read "Rheingold" — one of Richard Wagner's operas from the "Der Ring des Nibelungen" cycle!
Megan Marie Hart in costume, hair and make-up for the role of Fiordiligi in the opera "Così fan tutte" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Lorenzo Da Ponte. There is a second photo with different hair and accessories. The photo might be showing a variation of the look for the second act (where Fiordiligi gets married), or was taken before the look was finalised. This photo was posted on Megan Marie Hart's official Facebook page in 2018. This Così fan tutte production was staged by German director Holger Potocki, under the baton of Hungarian conductor György Mészáros. (caption text by frostpanda)
