Key
figure of the Ring, she appears only twice on stage, but like
Freia and
Loge, she plays an essential role by interposed
music. The first scene where she appears to
Wotan to warn
him is one of the starting musical points of the Ring.
One
knows that she inspired the rhythm of the future, which forms
the main part of the prelude.
Wagner
sees in Erda a woman covered with hoarfrost, buried to the waist.
She is a figure of nightmare, a spectre of eternal dismay. Like
her daughters the Norns, she appears in the storm and the darkness.
As if numbed, lost in an indecisive dream, she is essentially negative.
Like Loge and the Rhine maidens, she represents the nature prior
to the Lance, the Nature in its original state. Wotan, who enslaved
Loge, seized the Gold, paid Walhalla and soiled the Source, attacks
Erda and forces her to bear him a daughter. Erda is a typical figure:
the Sybille, the sacred clairvoyant. Chéreau represents her
as a Kabyl fortune-teller, clad as a moving clod of mud.
