Description The second of the "Ring" operas is an astounding musical phenomenon and a music drama of epic dimensions. The ring's curse manifests itself in the tragic end to the love of Siegmund and Sieglinde; and in the final act, Wotan is riven to a tormented choice between fatherly love and his godly duty as he is forced to deliver his daughter to the fate of mortality
