Known for her sensitive interpretation of roles, the Finnish soprano Camilla Nylund will once again demonstrate in this evening of lieder what an outstanding performer of the German repertoire she is. In addition to Wagner, Richard Strauss and the Austrian Alban Berg, she will also perform some Dvořák alongside a selection of works from arguably her homeland’s most popular composer, Jean Sibelius. Just as the Budapest audience will have already encountered the singer as Elsa in Lohengrin and Sieglind in Die Walküre, as well as in song recitals, her partner should be equally familiar. Helmut Deutsch is considered one of the world’s finest lieder accompanists and most recently appeared at Müpa Budapest alongside Diana Damrau and Jonas Kaufmann in April 2025.

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest

When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.


The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
