<i>Siegfried</i> was drafted by Wagner in November–December 1852, based on an earlier version he had prepared in May–June 1851 and originally entitled <i>Jung-Siegfried</i> (<i>Young Siegfried</i>), later changed to <i>Der junge Siegfried</i>. The musical composition was commenced in 1856, but not finally completed until 1871.<sup id="cite_ref-Millingtonnd_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Millingtonnd-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The libretto arose from Wagner's gradual reconception of the project he had initiated with his libretto <i>Siegfrieds Tod</i> (<i>Siegfried's Death</i>) which was eventually to be incarnated as <i><a href="/wiki/G%C3%B6tterd%C3%A4mmerung" title="Götterdämmerung">Götterdämmerung</a></i>, the final section of the Ring cycle. Having sketched music and worked with the text for <i>Siegfrieds Tod</i> in 1851, he realized that it would need a 'preface'. At this point he conceived that the prefatory opera, <i>Der junge Siegfried</i>, could act as a comic foil to the tragedy of <i>Siegfrieds Tod</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Preliminary musical sketches for <i>Der junge Siegfried</i> in 1851 were however quickly abandoned, although Wagner had written to his friend <a href="/wiki/Theodor_Uhlig" title="Theodor Uhlig">Theodor Uhlig</a> that "the musical phrases are making themselves for these stanzas and periods, without my even having to take pains for them. It's all growing out of the ground as if it were wild." Shortly afterwards he wrote to Uhlig that he was now planning to tell the Siegfried story in the form of "three dramas, plus a prologue in three acts"—a clear prefiguring of the Ring cycle.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Full work was finally commenced on the music of <i>Siegfried</i>, as the composer henceforth referred to it, in 1856, when Wagner prepared concurrently two drafts, a complete draft in pencil and a version in ink on up to three <a href="/wiki/Staff_(music)" title="Staff (music)">staves</a> in which he worked out details of instrumentation and vocal line. The composition of Acts I and II was completed by August 1857. Wagner then left off work on <i>Siegfried</i> to write the operas <i><a href="/wiki/Tristan_und_Isolde" title="Tristan und Isolde">Tristan und Isolde</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Die_Meistersinger" class="mw-redirect" title="Die Meistersinger">Die Meistersinger</a>.</i> He did not resume work on <i>Siegfried</i> until 1869, when he composed the third act. The final revision of the score was undertaken in February 1871. Performance was withheld until the first complete production of the Ring cycle, at Bayreuth in August 1876.<sup id="cite_ref-Millingtonnd_1-1" class="reference"><a

Mime is plotting to obtain the ring of power originally created by his brother <a href="/wiki/Alberich" title="Alberich">Alberich</a>. He has raised the human boy Siegfried as a foster child, to kill Fafner, who obtained the ring and other treasures in the opera <i><a href="/wiki/Das_Rheingold" title="Das Rheingold">Das Rheingold</a></i> and has since transformed himself from a giant to a dragon. Mime needs a sword for Siegfried to use, but the youth has contemptuously broken every sword Mime has made. Siegfried returns from his wanderings in the forest driving before him a large bear that terrifies Mime, and immediately breaks the new sword. After a whining speech by Mime about ingratitude, and how Mime has brought him up from a mewling infant (<i>"Als zullendes Kind"</i>), Siegfried senses why he keeps coming back to Mime although he despises him: he wants to know his parentage. Mime is forced to explain that he encountered Siegfried's mother, Sieglinde, when she was in labor; she died giving birth to Siegfried. He shows Siegfried the broken pieces of the sword <a href="/wiki/Nothung" class="mw-redirect" title="Nothung">Nothung</a>, which she had left in his custody. Siegfried orders him to reforge the sword; however, Mime is unable to accomplish this. Siegfried departs, leaving Mime in despair (<i>"Aus dem Wald fort in die Welt zieh’n"</i>).<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><i>Scene 2</i> </p><p>An old man (Wotan in disguise) arrives at the door and introduces himself as the Wanderer (<i>"Heil dir, weiser Schmied!"</i>). In return for the hospitality due a guest, he wagers his head on answering any three questions Mime may ask. The dwarf asks the Wanderer to name the races that live beneath the ground, on the earth, and in the skies. These are the Nibelungs, the Giants, and the Gods, as the Wanderer answers correctly. When Mime still refuses hospitality, the Wanderer demands that Mime answer <i>his</i> three questions, or yield his own head. The Wanderer asks Mime to identify: the race most beloved of Wotan, but most harshly treated; the name of the sword that can destroy Fafner; and the person who can repair the sword. Mime can answer only the first two questions: the Wälsungs (Siegmund and Sieglinde whose tale is told in the opera <i><a href="/wiki/Die_Walk%C3%BCre" title="Die Walküre">Die Walküre</a></i>) and the sword Nothung. Wotan tells him that only "he who does not know fear" can reforge Nothung, and abstains from taking Mime's head, leaving it for that person.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><i>Scene 3</i> </p><p>Mime despairs as he imagines the ferocity of the dragon Fafner, while "the orchestra paints a dazzling picture of flickering lights and roaring flames"<sup id="cite_ref-Millingtonnd_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Millingtonnd-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (<i>"Verfluchtes Licht!"</i>). Siegfried returns and is annoyed by Mime's lack of progress. Mime realizes that Siegfried is "the one who does not know fear" and that unless he can instill fear in him, Siegfried will kill him as the Wanderer foretold. He tells Siegfried that fear is an essential craft; Siegfried is eager to learn it, and Mime promises to teach him by taking him to Fafner (<i>"Fühltest du nie im finst’ren Wald"</i>). Since Mime was unable to forge Nothung, Siegfried decides to do it himself (<i>"Nothung! Nothung! Neidliches Schwert!"</i>). He succeeds by shredding the metal, melting it, and casting it anew. In the meantime, Mime brews a poisoned drink to offer Siegfried after the youth has defeated the dragon. After he finishes forging the sword, Siegfried demonstrates its strength by chopping the anvil in half with it (<i>"Hoho! Hoho! Hohei!

He even offers to awaken the dragon so that Alberich can bargain with him. Alberich warns the dragon that a hero is coming to kill him, and offers to prevent the fight in exchange for the ring. Fafner dismisses the threat, declines Alberich's offer, and returns to sleep. Wotan mysteriously advises Alberich that all things follow their own necessary ways which no one will change.

After assuring Siegfried that the dragon will teach him what fear is, Mime withdraws. As Siegfried waits for the dragon to appear, he hears a woodbird singing from the trees (<i>Waldweben</i> - <i>Forest Murmurs</i>). He attempts to mimic the bird's song using a reed pipe, but is unsuccessful. He then plays a tune on his horn (<i>Siegfrieds Hornruf</i> - <i>Siegfried's Horn Call</i>), which unintentionally wakes Fafner in his cave. After a short exchange, they fight; Siegfried stabs Fafner in the heart with Nothung. Regretful about his own life Fafner in his last moments learns the boy's name and tells Siegfried to beware the might of the curse, which condemns every lord of the Ring to death, just as it has now brought death to him. When Siegfried withdraws his sword from Fafner's body, his hands are burned by the dragon's hot blood and he puts his finger in his mouth. On tasting the blood, he finds that he can understand the woodbird's song (<i>"Hei! Siegfried gehört nun der Niblungen Hort!"</i>). Following its instructions, he takes the ring and the magic helmet <a href="/wiki/Tarnhelm" title="Tarnhelm">Tarnhelm</a> from Fafner's hoard.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><i>Scene 3</i> </p><p>Outside the cave, Alberich and Mime meet and quarrel over the treasure (<i>"Wohin schleichst du eilig und schlau"</i>). Alberich hides as Siegfried comes out of the cave. Siegfried contemplates the ring but doesn't know what could be its use, viewing it just innocently as a valueless object of nature (<i>"Was ihr mir nützt, weiß ich nicht"</i>); nevertheless, on the forest bird's advice he decides to keep it. Then he complains to Mime that not even the dragon Fafner has taught him the meaning of fear. Mime congratulates him on having won his battle, and offers him the poisoned drink; however, the magic power of the dragon's blood allows Siegfried to read Mime's treacherous thoughts, and he stabs him to death (<i>"Willkommen, Siegfried!"</i>). Hidden nearby, Alberich is heard laughing spitefully at his brother's death. Siegfried puts Mime's body into the treasure cave and places Fafner's body in the cave entrance to block it. The woodbird now sings of a woman sleeping on a rock surrounded by magic fire (<i>"Nun sing! Ich lausche dem Gesang"</i>).

Upon waking she hails the Sun and greets Siegfried as the World's Light (<i>"Heil dir, Sonne! Heil dir, Licht!"</i>).
