Siegfried & The Twilight of the Gods
The Ring of the Niblung, part 2
Illustrated by Arthur Rackham · Translated by Margaret Armour
"Siegfried & The Twilight of the Gods" by Richard Wagner is an opera composed in the 1870s. This epic music drama concludes Wagner's four-part Ring cycle, premiering in 1876. The hero Siegfried possesses a powerful ring and pledges his love to the Valkyrie Brünnhilde. But when he encounters the Gibichung court, deception and a magic potion shatter his memory. Schemes unfold involving blood-brotherhood, stolen rings, and disguised identities, setting in motion events that will determine the fate of gods and mortals alike.
