Siegfried is the third opera by Richard Wagner from the tetralogy Ring of Nibelung (Gold of the Rhine, Valkyrie, Siegfried, Death of the Gods). The opera cycle of the Nibelunga Ring is usually performed at the festival for three days and one evening. Siegfried's opera lasts about 4 hours and is performed on the second day of the festival. A long period of time separates the events that are narrated in the operas of the Ring of Nibelung, although this time it is easier to establish how many years have passed since Brungilda fell asleep (this ended “Valkyrie”) In the last act of Valkyrie, we said goodbye to Ziglinda, and she set off on her way to the home of the Nibelungs. There she was found by Mime, the blacksmith, brother of Alberich. There she died, giving birth to her son, to whom she gave the name Siegfried; Mime became his adoptive father and raised him. Siegfried grew up in a strong, arrogant, sharp young man, he is a child of the forest, enjoys communicating with its inhabitants and despises the dwarf who raised him.
