Opéra en 4 actes & 9 tableaux
Composer: Ernest Reyer (1823–1909)

First performance: Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie, Brussels, 7 January 1884
SETTING : Worms and Iceland, 5th century
PLOT : While Gunther, king of the Burgundians, dreams of new conquests, his sister Hilda has fallen in love with the Frankish hero Sigurd, who avenged her father’s death and saved her from captivity. Uta, her nurse, promises to make Sigurd fall in love with her, thanks to a magic potion. Sigurd (now in love with Hilda), Gunther and Hagen swear blood brotherhood and sail to Iceland, where the Valkyrie Brunehild lies in an enchanted sleep, guarded by walls of fire and monsters. Sigurd, disguised as Gunther, overcomes these obstacles to win Brunehild for Gunther. Brunehild, however, loves Sigurd, and a jealous Hilda reveals that Sigurd, not Gunther, rescued the Valkyrie. The enchantment on Sigurd is broken, and, now madly in love with Brunehild, plans to take her away from Gunther as he rescued her from Odin. But Gunther has Hagen murder Sigurd while hunting. Brunehild mounts Sigurd’s funeral pyre, and Hilda, infuriated by her brother’s crime and cowardice, sends a bracelet to Attila which will bring down his vengeance on Gunther. Finally, an apotheosis shows Sigurd and Brunehild ascending to Valhalla, where Odin forgives them.
‘Sigurd’ is the French answer to Wagner’s ‘Ring des Nibelungen’. Both operas are based on the first part of the ‘Nibelungelied’, which tells of Siegfried’s wooing of Brünhild and his murder by Hagen. Although Reyer’s opera was produced eight years after ‘Götterdämmerung’ (1876), the last part of the Ring Cycle, Reyer’s opera is not an imitation of Wagner. Reyer had written most of the opera almost fifteen years before its Brussels première, at which time he had heard no Wagner opera later than ‘Lohengrin’ (1850) [ • Richard Wagner - LOHENGRIN - Vorspiel (Pre... ].
