Tomasz Konieczny's Wanderer outstanding in a uniformly strong cast: Siegfried in Budapest

With Iréne Theorin's Brünnhilde rejuvenated, the Ring receives a worthy finale at the Budapest Wagner Days.

The pure magic of Ádám Fischer and the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra delights with two brilliant leads, but others disappoint on the second day of Müpa's Ring.

Dvořák’s final opera gets a rare staging outside its Czech homeland, at Wexford – the festival where dead operas return to life.

Histoire touchante que celle de ce Démon à qui un Dieu particulièrement cruel refusera la rédemption par l’amour. Excellente distribution et mise en scène idoine pour cette belle redécouverte proposée par l’Opéra de Bordeaux.

A Ring cycle of sustained excellence closes with telling contributions from Foster, Vinke and Pesendorfer in the three lead roles.

Six excellent singers bring out the best in Wagner's dramatic narrative, marred only by a Ride of the Valkyries that fails to convince.
