Finale from "Das Rheingold" by German composer Richard Wagner (1813-1883), the first opera in of the Ring Cycle, "Der Ring des Nibelungen". In this scene, the thunder god Donner (Thor) summons a storm to clear the atmosphere and Froh (Freyr) builds a rainbow bridge to allow the gods passage into the newly constructed palace Walhall (Valhalla). Only the trickster god of fire Loge (Loki) remains on earth, telling the audience that he wishes destruction on the gods for their deceit. Finally, the Rhine-maidens mourn the loss of their magical gold and declare that the glory of the gods is an illusion.
