Narrative:
Takeoff was conducted on runway xx at ZZZ using standard power; and assigned the climb. After takeoff; we turned to a heading of 180 degrees as per the SID and at 1;200-1;300 ft; we heard a loud bang accompanied by severe aircraft vibrations for 2-3 seconds. We had a severe right engine failure. We declared an emergency and asked for a climb to 3;000 ft and for vectors to ZZZ1. We performed the emergency procedures for the right engine and proceeded to ZZZ1. We asked for and received the ILS xxr and we set up for a single engine approach to runway xxr and asked for the arff personnel to stand by. We shot the approach and broke out at about 400 ft and landed on runway xxr. We stopped on the runway and requested an inspection from the arff personnel of the right engine to ensure no fire or smoke was present. After we were given a report of no smoke or fire; we requested taxi clearance to our gate at ZZZ1. Taxi was normal and we parked at the gate and deplaned.
