For an epic work like Wagner’s »Siegfried« you need an epic line-up. So it’s good that Sir Simon Rattle and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra have the perfect cast of singers at their side. Is there anything that could get the hearts of Wagner fans beating faster than names such as Simon O’Neill, Anja Kampe and Michael Volle?

In Georg Nigl, Peter Hoare and Franz-Josef Selig, three other leading character singers also feature, while the Elbphilharmonie spotlight artist Barbara Hannigan demonstrates her versatility once again as Forest Bird. The third part of the »Ring des Nibelungen« cycle is a blend of comedy and fairy-tale in which young Siegfried is itching to get away from his beastly foster father Mime. With the freshly repaired sword Notung in his hand, he storms out into the forest in order to learn fear from Fafner the dragon. But instead, he learns the language of the animals, and new, far more exciting adventures take their course…

Für ein kolossales Werk wie Wagners »Siegfried« braucht man eine kolossale Besetzung. Gut, dass Sir Simon Rattle und das Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks die passende Sänger-Crew an ihrer Seite haben: Denn was könnte die Herzen bayreuthverwöhnter Wagner-Fans höherschlagen lassen als Namen wie Simon O’Neill, Anja Kampe oder Michael Volle?

Mit Georg Nigl, Peter Hoare und Franz-Josef Selig sind drei weitere führende Charakterdarsteller mit von der Partie, während die Elbphilharmonie-Schwerpunktkünstlerin Barbara Hannigan als Waldvogel erneut ihre Vielseitigkeit unter Beweis stellt. Gelegenheit bietet das zwischen Märchen und Komödie angesiedelte Stück, dritter Teil aus dem »Ring des Nibelungen«, reichlich: Darin hält es den jungen Siegfried nicht mehr im Heim seines garstigen Ziehvaters Mime. Mit dem frisch reparierten Schwert Notung in der Hand stürmt er in den Wald hinaus, um dort beim Drachen Fafner das Fürchten zu lernen. Stattdessen aber erschließt sich ihm die Sprache der Tiere, und neue, viel aufregendere Abenteuer nehmen ihren Lauf…
