Siegfried, der Sohn der in »Die Walküre« geretteten Sieglinde und des getöteten Siegmund, wächst am Rande der Welt bei Alberichs Bruder Mime auf. Mime hofft, dass Siegfried für ihn den machtvollen Rings erkämpft. Doch der unwissende Siegfried wendet sich gegen den Ziehvater, und nachdem er dem getöteten Riesen Fafner den Ring abgenommen hat, erschlägt er auch Mime. Geleitet von einem Waldvogel, erweckt er die schlafende Brünnhilde. Jetzt könnten die beiden Wotans Götterwelt retten – wenn die Liebe nicht stärker wäre als politische Vernunft. »Siegfried« ist der theatralischste Teil von Wagners Tetralogie »Der Ring des Nibelungen«. Regisseur Willy Decker schuf daher seinen Dresdner Bühnenkosmos als Theater auf dem Theater. Wer sich allerdings auf der Bühne zur Schau stellt und wer den Beobachterposten einnimmt, bleibt dabei stets in der Schwebe – bis sich das Spiel ganz von der Bühne löst und auf den Zuschauer zuzulaufen scheint.

Siegfried, the son of Sieglinde, who was saved in Die Walküre, and Siegmund, who was killed, grows up on the edge of the world with Alberich's brother Mime. Mime hopes that Siegfried will fight for the powerful ring for him. But the ignorant Siegfried turns against his foster father, and after he has taken the ring from the killed giant Fafner, he also kills Mime. Guided by a forest bird, he awakens the sleeping Brünnhilde. Now the two could save Wotan's world of gods – if love weren't stronger than political reason. »Siegfried« is the most theatrical part of Wagner's tetralogy »The Ring of the Nibelung«. Director Willy Decker therefore created his Dresden stage cosmos as a theater within a theatre. However, those who flaunt themselves on the stage and who take the position of observer
