From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Richar Wagner's German Opera: SIEGFRIED Siegfried is the third of the four epic music dramas that constitute Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung), by Richard Wagner. It premiered at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus in 1876, as part of the first complete performance of The Ring cycle. DRAGON: Act 2 Scene 1 "Deep in the forest. The Wanderer arrives at the entrance to Fafner's cave, near which Alberich secretly keeps vigil by a rocky cliff ("Im Wald und Nacht"). The two enemies recognize each other. Alberich boasts of his plans to regain the ring and rule the world. Wotan states that he does not intend to interfere, only to observe. He even offers to awaken the dragon so that Alberich can bargain with him. Alberich warns the dragon that a hero is coming to kill him, and offers to prevent the fight in exchange for the ring. After Siegfried slays the Dragon (Fafner) .... When Siegfried withdraws his sword from Fafner's body, his hands are burned by the dragon's hot blood and he puts his finger in his mouth. On tasting the blood, he finds that he can understand the woodbird's song ("Hei! Siegfried gehört nun der Niblungen Hort!"). Following its instructions, he takes the ring and the magic helmet Tarnhelm from Fafner's hoard." 130+ Years Old - Antique 19th Century Card: Magic, Halloween, Theater -related Business Advertising Card + Over 1,000+ more fabulous antique & vintage cards are currently listed at the Dave Cheadle Card Store.
