Summary
As told in THE RHINEGOLD, VALKIRIES and SIEGFRIED: In time's dawn, Alberich the Nibelung renounces the power of love, and is thus able to steal the magical hoard of Rhinegold and fashion from it a Ring of irresistible power. Unless the gold is returned to the river Rhine, the gods themselves are doomed to fall.
Wotan, king of the gos, knows that only a mortal hero not bound by the gods' law can wrest the gold from Fafner. Thus Wotan sires twins - Siegmund and Sieglinda - who in turn will become the parents of this fateful hero.
Wotan's jealous forces him to slay Siegmund. For opposing him and seeking to spare Siegmund, Wotan condemns the valkyrie Brunnhilde to sleep upon a fiery mountaintop until a hero awakens her as a mortal woman.
That hero is Siegfried, child of Siegmund and Sieglinda.
Slaying the dragon Fafner, Siegfried obtains both Ring and Rhinegold, and goes to awaken Brunnhilde - the one woman worthy to be his bride. For both of them, it is love at first sight - love destined to decide the fate of the gods...
