EDITORS COMMENTS
Act Two: Siegfried's Discovery of Dragons' Blood In the epic opera "Siegfried," composed by the great German composer Richard Wagner, the hero Siegfried continues his quest for knowledge and power. After slaying the dragon Fafner, who had taken on the form of a dragon to better guard his hoard, Siegfried discovers the secret of the dragons' blood. The scene unfolds as Siegfried, having slain the dragon, approaches the dragon's hoard, filled with treasures and the coveted Tarnhelm, a magical helmet that can change its wearer into any form. As Siegfried reaches out to claim his prize, he notices a wound on the dragon's body that oozes a dark, crimson liquid. Intrigued, Siegfried touches the blood with his finger and is instantly filled with a sense of invincibility. The historical significance of this moment in the opera is rooted in the mythology of dragons and their supposedly powerful blood. In many cultures, dragons were believed to possess magical properties, and their blood was thought to be a potent elixir, granting the drinker invulnerability and strength. As Siegfried revels in his newfound power, he sings of his victory over the dragon and the discovery of the dragons' blood. The music swells, reflecting the hero's triumph and the awe-inspiring power of the dragon's blood. This moment from Wagner's opera "Siegfried" is brought to life in this stunning print from Mary Evans Prints Online. The intricate details of the dragon and the treasure hoard, along with the dramatic lighting, transport the viewer to the magical world of the opera. This print is a must-have for any opera or history enthusiast, and a beautiful addition to any home or office decor.
