The previous installment of the Ring cycle ended with a most operatic cliffhanger: the Valkyrie Brünnhilde imprisoned in a ring of fire. Now the story picks up as the fearless hero Siegfried re-forges his father’s shattered sword, embarking on a quest for the greatest prize of all—Brünnhilde’s love.
