Sigurd is an opera in four acts and 9 scenes by the French composer Ernest Reyer on a libretto by Camille du Locle and Alfred Blau. Like Wagner's Ring des Nibelungen, the story is based on the Niebelungenlied and the Volsunga Saga. The work was first performed at the Théatre de la Monnaie in Brussels on January 7, 1884 under the direction of Messrs. Stoumon and Calabrési. It was later performed in Paris at the Académie Nationale de Musique on June 12, 1885 under the direction of Messrs. Ritt and Gailhard.
