In brief

Christian Thielemann conducts the third episode of the Tetralogy, which introduces the character Siegfried, the child of the siblings Siegmund and Sieglinde raised in the cave of the treacherous Mime and destined to reforge the sword Nothung to slay the dragon Fafner, custodian of the treasure, before freeing Brünnhilde from the ring of enchanted fire. A youth who knows no fear is the protagonist of a fairy-tale interweave charged with the spirit of nature and filled with obstacles to overcome before he finally reaches the Valkyrie who sacrifices her divine status to be with him.
