Things remain exciting in the 'Ring des Nibelungen' set in the Swiss mountains at the Oldenburg State Theatre. […] Vocally, Oldenburg is well prepared for the big project of a complete 'Ring'. […] General Music Director Hendrik Vestmann […] plays with the Oldenburg State Orchestra, which is of course reduced in the cast but immensely present, just as transparently as he hits the great Wagner tone without becoming gaudy. He turns the third finale into an overwhelming, orgiastic feast for the senses.”  (Weser Kurier)

“Fire doesn't just blaze on stage. Hendrik Vestmann creates a magnet with a state orchestra in top form."  (Nordwest Zeitung)

Wotan's hope, Siegmund, is dead, the mighty sword Notung is broken and his favorite daughter Brünnhilde has fallen asleep - at the end of 'Valkyrie' Wotan saw all his plans to win back the mighty ring shattered... But now a glimmer of hope is glimmering again: Siegmund's and Sieglinde's son Siegfried, who is being raised by Mime in the forest, is developing into a Wälssian that suits Wotan's taste: Fearlessly and freely he encounters all dangers (and unfortunately also his grandfather without any respect). As a result, he is able to defeat Fafner with his newly forged Notung, who watches over the Nibelungen treasure like a dragon. Following the advice of a talkative forest bird, Siegfried takes his ring and magic hat and follows his youthful urge to the sleeping Brünnhilde. where, with his essential realization "That's not a man!", a touching love affair of great importance begins. In the third part of the Ring tetralogy, Siegfried, a central figure from the German heroic sagas, enters the stage: but not in a mythological way, but rather “in a peasant shirt” in the spirit of Wagner.
