Stefan Vinke as Siegfried.
Seigfried, the third opera in the Melbourne Ring Cycle, opened on Friday night.

This one had a picture of the thylacine from One and Two, has dragons with and without scales and is the last time the astonishing voice of Terje Stensvold, as Wolton and The Wanderer, is heard in the cycle.
