| Summary |
Three Rhinemaidens are swimming in the depths of the river Rhine as Alberich the Nibelung (a night-dwarf) enters. The Rhinemaidens tell Alberich that if someone should forswear all love, he would be able to forge an all-powerful ring of the Rhinegold. Mad with despair, Alberich forswears and curses all love and he steals the Rhinegold and flees before the shocked Rhinemaidens can take any action. |
