Third of the four operas which make up Wagner's 'Ring' cycle. Siegfried, son of Sieglinde, has been adopted by the dwarf Mime. Mime has tried in vain to restore Nothung, Sieglinde's sword, but when Siegfried meets the Wanderer (Wotan in disguise), he realises that it is his destiny to repair Nothung and kill the dragon Fafner. Mime plots in secret to poison Siegfried once he has slayed the dragon, so that he can claim Fafner's treasure as his own. The Bayreuth Festival Choir and Orchestra perform Wagner's opera, conducted by Daniel Barenboim.
