Fathers want the best for their children, especially for their daughters. They want their little Princess to land a strong, brave, capable, and heroic man. But most fathers don't have her sleep on a rock surrounded by fire until awakened by her hero.
Most daughters don't have Wotan for a dad. Then again, most women aren't Valkyries, either*. Protip to mortal Dads: leaving your baby girl on a mountain top surrounded by magic fire (Feuerzauber) is not considered modern Best Practice parenting. Just sayin'.
Perhaps it's best that we don't live our lives in an Opera: most of us have enough drama in our lives as it is. But perhaps not enough great music. I hope today you can enjoy Father's Day with your dad, or with your children, with spectacular music.

With the oldest daughter of four hurtling rapidly toward puberty, a mountain ringed by magic fire sounds mighty fine right now.
Happy Father's Day. Not that you need outside validation, but you're obviously a good one. ;-)
