About
Siegfried is the third in the tetralogy of music dramas that make up Der Ring des Nibelungen. It charts the progress of the young hero as he unshackles himself from the dwarf Mime, reforges his father’s sword to kill the dragon Fafner, and thus takes possession of the Ring which he ultimately gives to Brünnhilde to symbolise his devotion. Siegfried contains imperishably beautiful passages such as the Forest Murmurs, the profound psychological landscape of the Prelude to Act III and the great duet between Siegfried and Brünnhilde. This performance from Sofia Opera features an acclaimed all-Bulgarian cast.

there is some very fine singing here. Martin Iliev is a magnificent Siegfried with a properly heroic tone and enviable stamina. More than that, we watch him grow psychologically through three acts. Martin Tsonev’s Wanderer scarcely puts a spear wrong, while Krasimir Dinev’s Mime is a thoroughly nasty piece of work.
