Three norns spin on the rope of destiny, describing past, present and future: Alberich's robbery of the Rhinegold, the curse of the Ring, Wotan's self-constitution by cutting his contracted spears from the Worldsea, their withering, their precipitation, Siegfried's meeting with Wotan. But the rope of destiny breaks, the Norns flee down to their mother, Erda. Siegfried von Brünnhilde says goodbye to the Valkyries and is provided with protective runes by her; As a love deposit, Siegfried lets her the Ring des Nibelungen.

1st elevator

Hagen, the son of Alberic, advises his half-brother Gunther and his sister Gutrune to increase the fame of the Gibichungen: Gunther is to marry Brünnhilde and Gutrune Siegfried. When he gets to them, Gutrune hands him a potion at the suggestion of Hagen, which makes Siegfried Brünnhilde suddenly forget - he falls in love with Gutrune. In order to win her over, he promises to get Brünnhilde from the Valkyries for Gunther. After closing with Gunther Blutsbrüderschaft, Siegfried rushes off to win Brünnhilde for Gunther. In the meantime, Brünnhilde is visited by her sister, the Valkyrie Waltraute. She implores her to return the ring to the Rhinemaidens to release the curse. However Brünnhilde refuses the ring because it is Siegfried's love deposit. Siegfried appears, transformed by his Tarnhelm into the figure of Gunther, passes through the fire and vanquishes Brünnhilde. As a sign of their marriage - with Gunther - he wrests the ring from her.

2nd elevator

In a nocturnal scene Alberich admonishes his son Hagen to win the ring for him. When Brünnhilde, who arrives with Gunther, sees Siegfried and Gutrune as a couple and recognizes the ring on Siegfried's hand, she accuses him of betrayal. Siegfried denies his guilt, but Hagen, Gunther and Brünnhilde decide his death.

3rd elevator

On the hunt Siegfried meets the Rhine daughters, who ask him for the ring and warn him against the curse. But the ring stays with Siegfried. The hunting party comes to him, at the request Hagens tells Siegfried from his previous life. As he speaks, Hagen hands him a potion that restores the memory of Brünnhilde. Hagen sees this as a confession of breach of faith and pushes him a spear in the back. Siegfried dies of his love for Brünnhilde, dying. In the dispute over the ring, Hagen kills Gunther, but Brünnhilde now asserts her original right to Siegfried - and the Ring - again: she orders Siegfried's burning and plunges herself into the fire. The Rhine rising above its banks floods the fire, the three Rhine daughters pull Hagen, who wants to win the ring over, into the depths, the ring has fallen back to the Rhine. While Valhalla goes up in flames, people experience with great emotion the downfall of the deities.
