VICTOR RECORDS | amber |S]
GOTTERDAMMERUNG—Continued
made at the Metropolitan, the latest being February, 1914, with Kurt, Ober and Berger.
The Dusk of the Gods is the last part of the tetralogy. In the prelude we once more see Briinnhilde on the rock, where she had lain during her magic sleep, and where Siegfried had found her and taken her as his bride. The hero, after a brief period of domestic happiness in a cave near by, decides to leave his bride for awhile and go in search of adventures, giving her the Nibelung’s Ring as a pledge of faith. This ring he had obtained when he slew the dragon Fafner, and as the opera progresses he is doomed to suffer the consequences of the fatal curse, invoked on every possessor of the Ring by Alberich, from whom
it was forcibly taken by Wotan. (For complete illustrated description see “‘ Victor Book of the Opera’)
