Performer: Ádám Fischer

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

Ádam Fischer and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment bring new light and life to Bruckner's most imposing cathedral in sound. 

Sometimes the programme just feels right: a dramatic cantata by Haydn, a “pantomime grotesque” by Bartók and Mahler's Fourth Symphony. Colour and contrasts galore from soloist, conductor and orchestra.

A sense of marvel and joy permeates this New Year's Day performance of Haydn's oratorio at Müpa, 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.

Opening with Mahler's epic Third Symphony – a test of any concert call – Müpa's new season brings great music and great musicians to Budapest. 

A rollicking good story woven into music by a composer without peers, the ultimate operatic expression of the High Romantic aesthetic, and an opera that actually feels short at five hours.

Top international orchestras and singers grace the stage of Budapest’s leading concert hall.
