We see the old King, his father at a table with many of his roughly armed retainers around him. The Hero enters, salutes his father and converses with a harper who sings of Kriminhilde with whom Siegfried falls in love although he has never seen her. The following scenes show his setting out for the court of the lady's brother, King Gunther; the reception; his view of the lonely Kriminhilde, and of his acceptance of a dangerous adventure he must undertake before he can win Kriminhilde. On his way Siegfried frees Mime, from the nymphs, and in gratitude the gnome gives him a sword with which Siegfried is enabled to breathe the fire enchantment which surrounds Brunhilde, the beloved of Gunther. He brings her to Gunther, but now she is in love with her liberator and she becomes consumed with jealousy when she is repulsed by Siegfried. In revenge thereof, she conspires with Hagen, the villain, against the happiness of the two lovers. Kriminhilde's army enters. Siegfried, while out hunting, is slain and the two conspirators take refuge in Burgundy,where Kriminhilde with an immense horde, finds them. The Burgundians are overcome and their castle burnt. The vengeance of Kriminhilde closes the picture. Written by Copyright Description from Library of Congress See less
