But there is no anger in the action or lyrics of Wagner's opera at this point. The Valkyries assemble on a mountain top, preparing to bring fallen heros to Valhalla. But they have a problem: one of them is pregnant and they fear that this may not please Wotan at all. Which turns out to be the case. 'Excitement' would probably be a better description of what the Ride expresses. The popular association with anger and agression is probably the result of the way this music was used in 'Apocalypse Now'. Real anger you''ll find in Mozart's 'Queen of the Night' aria: Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen ! Hell's vengeance boils in my heart !
