Siegfried
Richard Wagner
Many years have passed since the end of Die Walküre. Although Brünnhilde is still in a deep sleep, the child Sieglinde was expecting is now an adolescent. Siegfried is a fearless son of nature who grows up far from civilization in a rough and violent world. When he manages to reforge the sword Nothung, adventure beckons: he defeats the dragon Fafner, comes into possession of the Ring and goes in search of Brünnhilde, an encounter that will transform him profoundly.
