IN THIS ACT the intricate story of The Ring is brought to a close. The ring, made from the gold wrested from the Rhine maidens in The Rhinegold, is now, through a series of adventures, borne on Siegfried's finger, and the curse laid on it by Alberich is about to reach its fulfilment. Deluded Siegfried, wrought upon by Hagen, the son of Alberich, has betrayed Brunnhilde by marrying her to Gunther, and has himself married Gutrune, little knowing that his own death is to be the next step in Alberich's sinister plan to recover the ring. 
The first scene is a wild spot by the Rhine, and Siegfried, separated from a hunting party, encounters the Rhine maidens who warn him of his approaching death. The hunters now enter and all rest, drink and converse, until Hagen treacherously spears Siegfried from behind. 
In his dying moments, Siegfried remembers his love for Brunnhilde. Siegfried's Funeral March leads into the last scene, the Hall of the Gibichungs. 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, determined thus to be reunited to Siegfried... The Rhine rises, bringing with it the Rhine maidens who recover the ring, while Hagen plunges in after them only to- meet his death. In the distance Valhalla is seen in flames in final fulfilment of the curse.
