Siegfried
Wagner’s Siegfried, the third opera in Richard Wagner’s monumental Ring Cycle follows the coming-of-age journey of its titular hero Siegfried, a fearless but naïve young man destined to play a pivotal role in the fate of gods and mortals.
Raised by the scheming dwarf Mime, Siegfried forges a mighty sword Nothung from the shards of his father’s broken blade and uses it to slay the dragon Fafner, claiming the powerful ring and the treasure it guards. Along the way Siegfried discovers his true heritage and gains a deeper understanding of bravery and love.
Siegfried features the return of Jaclyn Grossman as the heroine Brünnhilde, the debut of Rumbold Vocal Prize winner Alex Halliday as Fafner, and the highly anticipated return of Dion Mazerolle, reprising his acclaimed role as Alberich.
