The Ring of the Nibelung at the Semperoper Dresden

Ricarda Merbeth impressed as the very human, sensitive daughter of Wotan, vocally clearly focused, full of tone, capable of every dramatic increase. When, at the end of Siegfried, she finds herself together with Andreas Schager in passionate jubilation of love, and both of them increase more and more and propel themselves forward, one thought they were about to fly into the sky. The final scene of Götterdämmerung saw Ricarda Merbeth as a flaming goddess of vengeance, brazen and unforgiving. Even in this endlessly stretching, vocally all-demanding final song, she showed no signs of fatigue, no dullness. Simply wonderful!
