The tour group is stuck. King Gunther, his brother Giselher, Hagen von Tronje and Volker, the minstrel, want to go to King Etzel and are waiting for the connection in what appears to be an airport hall. They’re bored, and that doesn’t change the fact that Kriemhild, who is luring the Burgundian gang to her husband Etzel’s castle, drops by in a completely diva-like outfit. Even Brunhild still walks through the picture, although she no longer has any place in this, the third and final part of Friedrich Hebbel’s “Nibelungen” trilogy; now she is a Pan Am stewardess and asks the characters from the Rhine if they are from the circus. Judging by their equipment, one believes that without further ado.
