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.

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.
