 In Scene Two of Das Rheingold, the Immortals, gods and goddesss led by Wotan, live an idylic life
 with a garden of Golden Apples to preserve their youth and beauty. Wotan desires to improve this, 
 however, by building a great house, which he hires the Giants, Fafner and Fasolt, to build. 
 As payment for their work, Wotan agrees to give them the goddess, Freia, the only Immortal able 
 to nurture the Golden Apples.
