The
Ring: Siegfried towards end Act II by Wagner with
Metropolitan Opera, New York, and Siegfried Jerusalem. The
forest bird instructs Siegfried, firstly to claim the ring
and the tarnhelm from the dragon's cave and secondly to
beware of Mime who is going to try and poison him. Siegfried
has just slain the dragon and Mime has only a few minutes
left.
The
Ring: Siegfried finale Act II by Wagner. After Mime's end
the forest bird plays cupid, lining Siegfried up with a date
with Brünnhilde. Now if Honey Buzzard could do this!!
The
Ring: Götterdämmerung - Act II finale Betrüger ich -
und betrogen! Hagen (Nibelung), Gunther (Gibichung),
Brünnhilde (ex-Valkyrie) seek the death of Siegfried
(Volsung) with the Nibelung (lower earth in Lord of the
Rings) after the ring from the Volsung (middle earth).
Bayreuth Festival. No birds but if I had the choice of only
one bit of Wagner to take on a desert island, this would be
it!
