    “Australian bass-baritone Warwick Fyfe's performance of a part that has been taken by actors like Werner Klemperer (son of the conductor, Otto) or by ex-singers (Schoenberg apparently mulled over the idea of a retired tenor) was magisterial – full of illuminating gesture and direct communication (helping us to ‘see’, for example, the web that the summer wind tore away). Toward the end it was if Fyfe was longing to sing, a moving yearning that led logically into a powerful choral conclusion, testament to music’s ability to deliver the most decisively powerful climaxes.” Gordon Williams, Operawire. 24/03/2024

    Sydney Symphony Orhestra

    “Siegel’s might be a hard act to follow, but baritone Warwick Fyfe more than rises to the challenge as Mime’s brother Alberich. Here we have two of the world’s best Nibelung, and like Siegel, Fyfe has made his role his own (including during all three stagings of the Ring Cycle by Opera Australia in 2013 Both enunciate perfectly, extracting every ounce of textual information Wagner embedded in his libretto.

    And most importantly, they rid the Nibelung of the farcical and antisemitic traits often imposed on them, restoring a gravitas that befits the race after which Wagner’s tetralogy is named. It is, after all, Alberich’s curse that propels the Ring Cycle to its inevitable conclusion.”
