Venue: Müpa, Budapest

Iván Fischer's reworking of his 2017 production of Don Giovanni is musically capable, but dramatically unconvincing.

Individual performances impress, but conducting and production both prove too meandering in this year’s Wagner Days Tannhäuser.

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.

In their role debuts, Tassis Christoyannis and Véronique Gens make for an incredible pair in this concert performance of Massenet's opera.

Iván Fischer mixes things up for Schubert's “Great C major” Symphony with an unusual seating arrangement. 

Massed Hungarian forces impress in a monumental performance of Berlioz' grand work under Howard Williams' baton.
