Siegfried Act 2
Monday 17 April 2006 16:20-17:45 (Radio 3)
Wotan and Alberich lie in wait by Fafner's cave, both wanting to get their hands on the gold and the Ring. Siegfried arrives and answers a woodbird's song with a call from his horn, which wakes the dragon. Siegfried kills the dragon, and on tasting his blood realises that he can understand the woodbird. It tells him of the gold, the Tarn helmet and the Ring, and that Mime is plotting to poison him. Siegfried kills Mime, another victim of the Ring's curse.
