“Only beings of desire understand me.” The Forest Bird, Act II, scene 3

In a world which is on the road to ruin, where the dream power of the Gods has turned into a nightmare, only a man free from divine laws and their contradiction can build new hope.

This man, fearless and free from doubt is the young Siegfried. Will his strength and innocence be enough to restore the world that Wotan, the supreme power, wants to leave to him? Without doubt, if he is able to find the path which leads to the source of human knowledge during this second day of the tetraology.

Sung in German with French subtitles

Two intervals of 40 mn at 18h50 and 20h45
