Part 3 - Siegfried
The daring hero Siegfried, the grandson of Wotan, forges a sword from the shards of the weapon that belonged to his father, kills the dragon, Fafner, and claims the magic ring.
The third of the four music dramas in Richard Wagner’s monumental Ring cycle, in a radically stripped-back, critically acclaimed production by Opera North. Filmed during live performances in 2016, this is total immersion in a unique, all-encompassing music drama.
Wagner’s unparalleled orchestral scene-painting reaches new heights as we meet the daring hero Siegfried, the grandson of Wotan, king of the gods.
Siegfried has been raised by the dwarf Mime in the forest, where he has never learned fear. When he learns of his parents’ deaths, he forges an unbreakable sword from the shards of the weapon that belonged to his father Siegmund, kills the dragon, Fafner, and claims the magic ring.
Fearless and free, Siegfried braves the fire surrounding the sleeping µώ°ωΓΌ²Τ²Τ³σΎ±±τ»ε±π, now a mortal woman, whom he innocently awakens, only to discover an all-consuming, passionate love.
