The hero Siegfried reforges his father’s shattered sword, embarking on a quest for the greatest prize of all – the love of the valkyrie Brünnhilde, who lies trapped in a ring of fire.

Siegfried is the third opera in Richard Wagner’s four-opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen.  Wagner broke off composition at the end of Act II of Siegfried to write Tristan und Isolde and Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, returning to Siegfried seven years later.  Elements of these two operas feed into Siegfried. It features a wonderful celebration of the natural world such as the evocation of the forest in Act II. Like Tristan, it has an ecstatic love duet, as Brünnhilde and Siegfried discover each other. There is also comedy, a quality typically associated with Wagner. The opera’s lighter moments take many forms, from physical comedy (Mime’s reaction to Siegfried’s superhuman anvil-hammering), character flaws (Mime’s joy at riddle-solving, which almost tips into self-sabotage), and the hero’s revelation of Brünnhilde at the end of the opera (‘That is no man!’) which raises a laugh from audiences in some parts of the world. Longborough Festival Opera, known as the British Bayreuth, calls on renowned Wagnerian Anthony Negus to conduct and Amy Lane to stage this new production of Siegfried in the bucolic English Cotswolds.
