Lauren McNeese – Wellgunde

Siegfried gives Brünnhilde the ring as a token of their union and sets off for new adventures. He meets the self-serving siblings Gunther and Gutrune and their half-brother Hagen, the son of Alberich. Seeking the ring, Hagen uses a potion to trick Siegfried into abandoning Brünnhilde, who plots revenge. Siegfried is murdered, and Brünnhilde, understanding too late the deception, builds him a funeral pyre. As she strides into the fire, the flames rise to destroy Valhalla, ending the rule of the gods and returning the ring to its natural home in the Rhine.
