Ring of the Nibelungs

Der Ring des Nibelungen commonly translated into English as The Ring of the Nibelung or The Nibelung's Ring, is a series of four epic music dramas based loosely on figures and elements of Germanic paganism, particularly from the Icelanders' sagas and the Nibelungenlied. It is often referred to simply as "The Ring Cycle", "Wagner's Ring" or just "The Ring". Both the libretto and the music were written by Richard Wagner over the course of twenty-six years, from 1848 to 1874.

its old beliefs...

hold on to the gods of their ancestors.

of these gods was Odin.

He reigned among
the stars in Valhalla...

:01:05

... and his ravens gave
him wisdom and memory.

But whilst the fire of the
ancient powers faded...

:01:14

... a wondrous tale arose that captured
the hearts of the people.

It told of a blacksmith
who slew a mighty dragon...

... and won a legendary treasure. ;
