Synopsis
Excerpt from The Valkyrie: First Day of the Trilogy; The Ring of the Niblung
A short orchestral prelude of a turbulent stormy character introduces the action. As the curtain rises siegmund hastily opens the entrance door from without and enters. It is towards evening, and a violent thunderstorm is just subsiding. Siegmund holds the latch in his hand for a moment and looks round the room: he appears exhausted with over-exertion: his dress and appearance shew that he is in flight. Seeing no one, he closes the door, strides towards the fire and throws himself wearily down on a bearskin.
