From Das Rheingold, Los Angeles, 2010.<br /><br type="_moz" /></em></strong></div><span>Richard Wagner's <em>Der Ring des Nibelungen</em>&nbsp;is an operatic saga based on characters from the old Norse eddas and the epic poem&nbsp;</span>Nibelungenlied. Loge/Loki is the god of fire who eventually destroys everything. Loge is buddies with Wotan/Odin (making Fricka/Frigga jealous), and, true to form, uses his wits and tricks to get the gods out of their messes. Mime/Mimir is a dwarf/dark elf who forged a cursed and powerful ring for which a fight for its possession is at the centre of the saga (sound familiar?). <p style="text-align: left; ">Loge is diabolically satanic with Joker-ish overtones in this adaptation from the LA Opera.</p> <p><small>[ <a href="http://101lokis.tumblr.com/post/28557221362/mime-and-loge-converse-in-nibelheim-from-das">tumblr</a> entry ]</small></p><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=loki&ditemid=2627" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://loki.dreamwidth.org/2627.html mimir wagner mime loge loki das rheingold opera la opera public 0
