Birgit Kajtna-Wönig’s new semi-staging of Wagner's Bühnenweihfestspiel pays homage to Ádám Fischer's committed musical forces.

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

In András Almási-Toth's engaging new production, magnificent orchestral and choral performances let Wagner's music do the talking.

Hartmut Schörghofer's updated concert staging receives strong singing from everyone and a thrilling orchestral performance.

This double cast, nine-day revival of Vadim Milkov's staging of Pique Dame offers a relatively straight reading of Tchaikovsky's opera about the obsessive Pushkin-based character Herman. Embracing the opera's choral and dance passages, spectacle and pageantry are paramount; the drama's surreal and more nuanced dimensions could have been better profiled.
