The Ring of the Nibelung, third day. For the gods the hour has come, as the three Norns know well, the weavers of fate, daughters of Erda, the Earth. Alberich’s greed and rancour poison the world of men too, driving his son Hagen to plot against Siegfried. A magic potion makes love forgotten and betrayed: now the hero seeks the hand of Gutrune, Hagen’s half-sister and Gunther’s sister, to whom he promises to deliver Brünnhilde herself as a bride. He will remember her again, but dying, struck in the back by Hagen. The hero is extinguished, and with him the dreamed-of age of heroes. What is not extinguished is the craving for the Ring, which kills both Gunther and Hagen. The cursed treasure will be purified by Brünnhilde on Siegfried’s funeral pyre. As the flames consume Valhalla, home of the gods, the gentle waters of the Rhine overflow and recover their treasure. The cycle is complete, and with it Wagner’s enterprise of making opera a metaphor for the world through myth.
