Is there a famous opera that stars a valkyrie named brunhilda?

Brunnhilde is the star of three of the four operas comprising Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, The Ring of the Nibelung.The first opera is considered a prologue, Das Rheingold, The Rhine-gold.Brunnhilde appears in Die Walkure, The Valkyrie, in Siegfried, and in Die Gotterdammerung, The Twilight of the Gods.


Who wrote the longest opera?

[1] The longest opera is Wagner's Ring Cycle, which lasts for about 15 hours - depending on performances / conductor etc. It is in four parts each an opera in its own right - Das Rheingold, Die Walkure, Siegfried and Götterdämmerung. [2] The longest frequently performed opera is Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg which can last over 5 hours. [3] However, during December 1973 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City a performance of 'The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin', by Robert Wilson, lasted almost 13 hr. 25 min.Without knowing every opera, I guess Richard Wagner is probably on the top5 list.

What is the name of the female character who sings the famous operatic hyto-ho in Ride of the Valkyries?

The Ride of the Valkyries is actually a piece from the beginning of the third act of Wagner's Die Walküre. The piece is sung by the eight Valkyrie sisters of Brünnhilde, which may be the name you're looking for. "Ho-jo-to-ho!" is Brunnhilde's war-cry in act 2 of Richard Wagner's 'Die Walkure'. As already answered 'The ride of the walkuries' is the opening of act 3 of the same opera.
