    Wagner opera question

    I heard a piece of music on classical TV, and it was Siegfried's dream and it was by Wagner. Would you know what Wagner opera would have Siegfried in it?

    I assume you heard the Siegfried Idyll, which is a stand-alone piece and is available in a number of recordings. Wagner did incorporate some of the music into the opera Siegfried, from Der Ring des Nibelungen, but that opera is four hours long and the portion incorporated rather miniscule.

    Or maybe it was Siegfried's idyll?

    You mean it's a piece by itself?
