The Ring Saga tells the story of the dwarf
Andvari's Curse of the Rhinegold, which
brings about the downfall of both gods and
men. Mocked and spurned by the lovely
Rhinemaidens, guardians of the Rhinegold,
Andvari renounces love and forges from the
stolen gold a ring which brings to its bearer
power over all the world, but at a terrible
price. Used by J.R.R. Tolkien as inspiration for
The Lord of the Rings, this is the story that
began it all. Based on the Old Norse sagas and
Richard Wagner's immortal 4-part opera, The
Ring Saga tells the story of the ring curse as
it was originally intended to be heard.
