The celebrated tenor Lance Ryan, who has already played Siegfried in Bayreuth, among other places, is also an enthusiastic young unsuspecting hero in Milan. The soloists Nina Stemme, once again stunning in the role of Brünnhilde and Anna Larsson, moving as Our Lady Erda, are also breathtaking

Siegfried" marks the beginning of the so-called second day of Wagner's "Ring des Nibelungen". In Guy Cassiers' production, Daniel Barenboim conducts the orchestra of the Milan Scala and "takes his devoted audience by the hand and by the ear into the gruesome forest and on brightly irradiated Valkyrie rock heights. It was a delight, you couldn't get enough of it". (The World)

What was meant to be a cheerful satyr play becomes a dream and trauma of re-encounters and voyages of discovery in breathtaking time lapse. Siegfried races through an existence between horror film and slapstick comedy. While Brünnhilde and Siegfried celebrate their detachment from the fathers' drama of fate, the apocalyptic end is already heralding in the tragedy of the eternally abandoned children.
