	Nibelung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		German Nibelung and the corresponding Old Norse form Niflung (Niflungr) refers in most of the German texts and in all the Old Norse texts to the royal family or lineage of the Burgundians who settled at Worms.
		In some German texts Nibelung appears instead as one of the supposed original owners of that hoard, either the name of one of the kings of a people known as the Nibelungs, or in variant form Nybling, as the name of a dwarf.
		Although Nibelungs refers to the royal family of the Burgundians in the second half of the Nibelunglenlied (as well as in many other texts), in the first half Nibelungenlant is instead a kingdom on the borders of Norway of which Siegfried becomes the ruler.

		Das Rheingold ("The Rhine Gold") is the first of the four operas that comprise Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung), by Richard Wagner.
		It received its premiere at the Munich Court Theatre on 22 September 1869, with August Kindermann in the role of Wotan, Heinrich Vogl as Loge, and Wilhelm Fischer as Alberich.
		One of the most striking features of the interlude is when the orchestra fades out and gives way to 18 tuned anvils (marked in the score with specific pitches), beating out the Nibelung theme to represent the toiling of the enslaved dwarves.

	Ring of the Nibelung (Wagner) - Synopsis
		Wagner made a dramatic sketch of the Nibelung myth as early as the autumn of 1848, and between then and the autumn of 1850 he wrote the "Death of Siegfried." This subsequently became the "Dusk of the Gods." Meanwhile Wagner’s ideas as to the proper treatment of the myth seem to have undergone a change.

		She is a perfect dramatic incarnation of the profound and beautiful metaphysical motive upon which the plot of "The Ring of the Nibelung" is based.

	The Economic Hemicycles of the Nibelung
		Both of these are initiated by Nibelungs, who have the motivation and imagination to seek change; both of them are extinguished by Gods, to whom change is anathema.
		But the Nibelung dwarf Alberich is motivated, by the sexual taunting of the Rhinemaidens, to do something new and unforeseen.
		Although it is confirmed (by Hagen) in 'Twilight of the Gods' that Siegfried is master of this treasure and that the Nibelungs acknowledge his sovereignty (a point to which I shall return) he never makes any attempt to get the treasure or use his powers in any way that benefits him.
