What is the name of that German Opera that they use in movie trailers often?

Question

Bum Bum Bum Bum

Answer 1

Actually, I'll bet your thinking of "O, Fortuna" from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. It's technically not an opera but a choral work. An opera is a story with characters played by singer-actors, while a choral work involves an assembled chorus. Anyway, Orff wrote Carmina Burana in the mid 1930s, and it remains his best known work. It is constantly being performed and recorded by various choral ensembles. At any rate, Hollywood uses it over and over, most famously in the original version of The Omen.

Answer 2

Depends on what opera.
One is:
Der Ring des Nibelungen commonly translated into English as The Ring of the Nibelung or The Nibelung's Ring which is a series of four epic music dramas. They are:
Das Rheingold (The Rhinegold)
Die Walküre (The Valkyrie)
Siegfried
Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods)
The song is ride of the Valkyrie or one of the songs.

Another one you might be thinking of is the song
O Fortuna from the opera Carmina Burana By Carl Orff.

Hope that helps

Answer 3

I presume you're thinking of the aria 'Ride of the Valkyries' which comes from 'The Ring Cycle', a set of 4 separate operas.

Der Ring des Nibelungen commonly translated into English as The Ring of the Nibelung or The Nibelung's Ring, is a series of four epic music dramas based loosely on figures and elements of Germanic paganism, particularly from the Icelanders' sagas and the Nibelungenlied. It is often referred to simply as "The Ring Cycle", "Wagner's Ring" or just "The Ring". Both the libretto and the music were written by Richard Wagner over the course of twenty-six years, from 1848 to 1874.

The four operas in the Ring cycle are:

Das Rheingold (The Rhinegold)
Die Walküre (The Valkyrie)
Siegfried
Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods)

Answer 4

Check out the operas of Richard Wagner.

I have a suspicion you may also be talking about Orff's Carmina Burana, which is not an opera, but sounds like one. Carmina Burana's "O Fortuna" is very dramatic and is often used in movies.

You can listen to a sample of it at the link below.

Answer 5

Ride of the Valkries

Answer 6

I know they use "Tristan and Isolde" and "The Valkrie", both by Wagner, quite a bit.
