I'm listening to Siegfried live from Bayreuth. Reading the plot too, and it's full of holes/inconsistencies/questionable actions. Was Richard W. a complete hack about everything not having to do with music?
you learned the lesson of why traditionally composers don't write lyrics/stories/anything non-musical
the point is more the grandiosity of his endeavor rather than the ultimate triumph
Masterfully crafted scene bump
Plot wise yes. Lohengrin is better though.
