Just as Jossi Wieler and Sergio Morabito turn off the light at the end of their Siegfried production at the very moment when the title hero jumps from Brünnhilde's wardrobe into her bed, full of energy, Richard Wagner turns on the light in Götterdämmerungstarts again when Brünnhilde also releases him from their mutual love happiness: "To new deeds, dear heroes," she urges him. So Siegfried moves out and ends up at the court of the Gibichungen, where he, rich in strength but poor in perspective, falls victim to a magic potion intrigue perfidiously devised by Alberich's son Hagen, at the end of which he is assassinated. Brünnhilde, who was betrayed by Siegfried – innocently guilty – takes this as an opportunity to put an end to the whole world as it is. At least with the system of lies and deceit established by Wotan long before Alberich's Rheingold robbery.
Plot

Wie Jossi Wieler und Sergio Morabito am Ende ihrer Siegfried-Inszenierung das Licht genau in dem Moment ausmachen, in dem der Titelheld voll Tatendrang aus Brünnhildes Kleiderschrank in ihr Bett springt, macht Richard Wagner das Licht in der Götterdämmerung wieder an, als Brünnhilde ihn ebenso aus dem gemeinsamen Liebesglück entlässt: „Zu neuen Taten, teurer Helde“, drängt sie ihn. Also zieht Siegfried aus und landet am Hof der Gibichungen, wo er, reich an Kraft, arm an Durchblick, einer von Alberichs Sohn Hagen perfide ersonnenen Zaubertrank-Intrige zum Opfer fällt, an deren Ende er gemeuchelt wird. Brünnhilde, die von Siegfried – schuldlos schuldig – betrogen wurde, nimmt das zum Anlass, mit der ganzen Welt, so wie sie ist, Schluss zu machen. Zumindest mit dem von Wotan lange vor Alberichs Rheingoldraub etablierten System aus Lug und Trug.
