Overview
In Siegfried, the âSecond Dayâ or third evening of the Ring Cycle, we meet the pivotal hero of the epic tale. The energetic drive from Die WalkĂŒre is pursued here while Siegfried finally recaptures the mighty ring from Fafner the Dragon and awakens BrĂŒnnhilde from her penal sleep on the great rock. Lance Ryan, having interpreted this role on the greatest stages of the world including the Bayreuth Festival, portrays the naĂŻve hero. His antagonists are Peter Bronder, great and agile as Mime, Terje Stensvold, an experienced Wanderer and Johannes Martin KrĂ€nzle, who continues his mean and deceitful depiction of Alberich. The leading ladies are Nina Stemme, once again unrivalled as BrĂŒnnhilde and Anna Larsson, moving as the God-mother Erda.
