DAS RHEINGOLD      NEXT    THE RHINEGOLD IN RETURN FOR FREIA  183cm x 183cm      

 
Wotan's wife Fricka convinces him that he has made a terrible mistake giving Feia to the Giants as the
Immortals were already loosing their youth and beauty without her Golden Apples. Loge convinces the 
Giants, Fasolt and Fafner, to accept Gold instead. 
In Scene Three, Loge and Wotan descend to Nibelheim to steal the Rhinegold from Alberich. Loge tricks
Alberich into showing off the magic of the Tarnhelm, by turning himself into a toad, whereupon they capture
him. Alberich trades his Gold, the Ring and the Tarnhelm for his freedom.The Gold and the Tarnhelm are
given to the Giants, but they demand also The Ring, which Wotan does not want to part with.
