Die Walküre Wagner,Richard

One of the most exciting aspects of Müpa Budapest's performances of Wagnerian works is the relationship between permanence and change. The concept behind the productions is fully established and constant. However, over the past years, within the framework of this fixed idea, various details have been reimagined. Another permanent feature is the conducting method - one combining humanism with perfectionism - of music director Ádám Fischer. Nevertheless, it is precisely this characteristic exigency of his that helps him find new aspects to bring to the surface from the work's inexhaustible riches each year. Also offering a thrilling mixture of permanence and change, of course, are the shifts in emphasis that result from trying out new singers in various roles each year and retaining past veterans in others. Appearing as Siegmund in the current production is Australian heldentenor Stuart Skelton, who last took on the role here in 2019. With her amazing endurance as Brünnhilde, Iréne Theorin is also a highly familiar member of the team. There will, however, be a new Hunding this time in the person of Albert Dohmen, who sang Alberich at Bayreuth, and we will also get to welcome Günther Groissböck as a new Wotan.
