Siegfried is the third of four operas that comprise Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung), performed via a collaboration of acclaimed director Carlus Padrissa, cutting edge theater company La Fura dels Baus, and the National Symphony Orchestra conducted by world renowned Maestro Shao-Chia LÜ. The main character, Siegfried, grows from a boy into a man, not knowing who his parents are, which colors everything he does. Video projections in three dimensions, moving elements and acrobatics are all used in the telling of this richly woven tale.
This is a story of treachery, the pursuit of justice and the desire for love. Wotan, the king of the gods, casts Brünnhilde into a deep sleep. Sieglinde escapes danger only to die giving birth to Siegfried. The Nibelung Mime takes on the responsibility of raising Siegfried, but with an ulterior motive: to train him as a warrior to obtain the ring of power that is guarded by a giant dragon. Mime attempts and fails to forge a sword for Siegfried. Due to his lack of fear, Siegfried is able to complete this task, fight the enemy and rescue Brünnhilde, his true love.
La Fura dels Baus continues to make exquisite magic in "Siegfried," from cascading images of dark post-industrial wastelands to shimmering skies and mountains. The power here is life force. ─Houston Chronicle
This production is something astounding in the opera world ─ rare in its balance of machines and earth, will and destiny. ─Bachtrack
