Glänzende Turandot an der Ungarischen Staatsoper
Aufregend dirigiert und überwiegend gut gesungen sollte diese üppige aber schnörkellose Turandot sowohl Traditionalisten und abenteuerlustige Operngänger erfreuen.
Fine voices, staid production: Rigoletto at Hungarian State Opera
Attila Mókus's dramatic baritone was scornful at one moment, tender, distressed, vengeful, or broken in mourning at others, vocal signposts in Rigoletto’s descent into the hell of his own making.
Hungarian State Opera goes full The Last of Us with new Idomeneo
Hungarian State Opera presents Idomeneo for the first time in almost 50 years in a musically superb, but controversial pandemic-informed dystopian setting.
A torrent of themes: Parsifal at Hungarian State Opera
In András Almási-Toth's engaging new production, magnificent orchestral and choral performances let Wagner's music do the talking.
Idiomatic Bluebeard's Castle from the Hungarians in New York
Powerful and evocative imagery, both literal and implied, lingered on beyond the drop of the curtain.
