Conductor, ROBERT HEGER 
Relayed from The Royal Opera House, Covent 
Garden 
The first scene is a wild spot by the Rhine, and Siegfried, separated from a hunting party, encounters the Rhinemaidens who warn him of his approaching death. The hunters now enter and all rest and converse, until Hagen treacherously spears Siegfried from behind. In his dying moments, Siegfried remembers his love for Brunnhilde. The most superb death music ever composed, Siegfried's Funeral March, leads into the last scene. Here, Hagen in his struggle to get the magic ring from Siegfried's finger kills Gunther. Brunnhilde appears, Siegfried's funeral pyre is prepared and as it burns she leaps upon it. The Rhine rises bringing with it the Rhinemaidens who recover the ring, while Hagen plunges in after them only to meet his death. Valhalla, the home of the gods, is seen in flames in fulfilment of the curse.
