Wagner: A walkür

The Treasure of the Rhine was first seen and heard in September 1869, The Walker in June 1870. Both performances were staged at the Royal National Theatre in Munich at the impatient urging of Wagner's devoted patron, King Louis II of Bavaria. Although all the operas in the Ring can be performed as separate works, Die Walküre is perhaps the part of The Ring of the Nibelung that stands out most as a stand-alone work and, because of its integral connection with the German Romantic operatic tradition, is most often and most often performed as a stand-alone work. From the outset, the exceptional virtue of Müpa Budapest's Ring cycle, under the artistic direction of Adam Fischer, has been the extraordinary performance of the vocal ensemble, which has performed the four works on four consecutive days, as the composer intended. Brünnhilde, who will take to the stage at this year's Walküre, is one of the most important contributors to the history of Wagner Days, Swedish dramatic soprano Iréne Theorin. Not only does she clash sharply with Johan Reuter's Wotan, but also Atala Schöck, who plays Frikka. Sieglinde will be played by Karine Babajanyan, who made a highly successful debut in the same role at the Wagner Days in Budapest in 2022.
