Arthur Rackham- The Rhinemaidens Try to Reclaim Their Gold

met opera. 9/3/19

Like a Wagnarian Rhinemaiden, our heroine stands confidently in her plain Ulla bra which employs the merest hint of lace and faerie-lore. Do you sit, like Siegfried, cautiously at the banks of the great river not sure whether to join these alluring nymphs? And dare you take the plunge - both metaphoric and actually - into indulging yourself in the ring-cycle of The Full Cup Bra?

Eduard Veith (1856 - 1925) Rhine Daughters and Dwarf Alberich (The Ring of the Nibelung), and Siegfried, 1909
