EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the legendary moment from the opera "Siegfried" by Richard Wagner, as the titular hero confronts the fearsome dragon Fafner. Based on the epic Norse saga, this scene represents a pivotal turning point in the narrative. Siegfried, the young, brave, and curious hero, embarks on a quest to slay the dragon Fafner, who has taken the form of a dragon to protect his hoard of treasure. The treasure, known as the Tarnhelm and the Nibelung hoard, holds the key to the power and wisdom that Siegfried needs to fulfill his destiny. In this photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, we see Siegfried, armed with his sword, standing defiantly before Fafner. The dragon, with its menacing eyes and sprawling wings, looms over Siegfried, ready to defend its treasure with all its might. The tension between the two figures is palpable, as the hero braces himself for the battle that lies ahead. The opera "Siegfried," the third installment in Wagner's epic "Ring Cycle," is a testament to the power of music and storytelling in bringing mythology to life.
