Wagner: Das Rheingold

Fans of Wagner have some important anniversaries to look forward to in 2026: It was 150 years ago in 1876 that the Ring cycle was first heard in its entirety in Bayreuth – with a Hungarian conductor, János Richter, on the podium. Meanwhile, Hungarian enthusiasts have been sharing in unforgettable moments at the Budapest Wagner Days for exactly 20 years. With each iteration, we relive the profoundly human story of gods and heroes in a staging by Hartmut Schörghofer that never fails to capture the imagination along with Ádám Fischer’s expert use of the conductor’s baton. Each year, the Müpa Budapest audience eagerly awaits the return of its favourite singers, so we have been welcoming Tomasz Konieczny back as Wotan from the very beginning. Other familiar faces are Jochen Schmeckenbecher’s Alberich, Jürgen Sacher’s Mime and Tijl Faveyts’s Fasolt. Norbert Ernst, who plays Loge, previously appeared at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall in 2019 as the Scribe in Khovanshchina.
