Schott Excerpts at: 1- 5m9s; Good Luck all violinists!

[AtheneNikephoros]

"Das ist kein Mann!"

Oh, Siegfried...

[xav71176]

@AtheneNikephoros

He's been raised in a hut in the forest, poor thing ;)

[AtheneNikephoros]

@xav71176 ...with a dwarf who claimed to be both his father and mother. That must have been the beginning of Siegfried's confusion about gender.

[Shogunmiyuchan]

Shut up Siggy and kiss her!

Nifty set lighting trick! Build a shallow rocky approach to the valkyrie rock across a deep stage. When you don't illuminate it from above, it looks high above. Once it is illuminated, it is a shallow slope. Compare video dqScmEUkL2U to video vFnaQ-AtIK0.

ahhh where's act 4. I want to hear her response to all this. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Please post act 4 please please please

[ggldfinger]

agreed! layne, your videos are great - please post the rest!

[Waldvogel91]

There is no act 4. It is an opera n 3 acts.

[xav71176]

act 4 of Siegfried ? that would be Gotterdammerung right ? ;)

[AtheneNikephoros]

@xav71176 That would be the prologue of Gotterdammerung. :)

[iwpoe]

There is no act 4. There's just the rest of Act III. She wakes up. They fall for each other. The End.

[prchristman]

Her response? What would anyone say after such a long sleep? She yawns and says, "Let me doze another five minutes."

But seriously, I adore the glorious operas that compose the Ring Cycle. I've listened to it since 1958 and discover something new about it every time I come back.

[isabelle070209]

the act 4? it is "Götterdamnerung".

[IrishClaudius]

You mean PART4 of the video

Siegfried is not a superman he was not fearless - he is an innocent abroad who has not experienced fear. When he does he calls for his mother -twice!! He'd really looking for a man to love but learns how to love a woman - a task he finds daunting. But she is not only a woman she is *the* Feminine in himself and in the whole work.

Wagner was truly an artist 100 years ahead of his time. He could project the very best and the very worst of humanity.

In fact, Sigfried was the hero who did not know fear; he could kill a dragon without experiencing this feeling; it is interesting though, that he discovers fear just after having passed through a circle of fire, to meet the Woman herself...

[IrishClaudius]

My point was this boy Siegfried is not the hero Hitler and the Nazi's thought he was - he is a confused youth easily misled by the powerful his only hope for himself is to find a friend - that's why he fights Wotan - he simply sees no point to someone trying to stop him find that friend. It is his innocence and lack of experience that makes him interesting - his fall is the fall of the ancient pagan world and the rise of modern world of Hagan which we like Brumhilde need redemption from.

[Drughugger]

Thank God, he don´t, so shut up, you stupid nazi fuck!

[borinpc]

Good place to stop, leaving the audience with his own puzzlement as to how to wake her up!

[agreatgeat]

@borinpc Smelling salts, of course. Though, maybe Mime never taught that to Siegfried?

[RolfLarsson]

He was in much better shape this night than when he did Gotterdammerung
