Wagner: Tannhäuser
- BUDAPEST WAGNER DAYS
Ticket prices
The chief sustaining element of Wagner's operas is tension. This is the electric field created in each of his works, attracting those who are receptive to it like a magnet. Tension - clashing with principles, as high-level art tends to do - was already present in the early "German Romantic operas”, including Tannhäuser.
Matthias Oldag's acclaimed production, on the other hand, strikes a constructive balance between ideas about stage directing sprung from both modernist and traditional aesthetics, enabling it to address both those seeking novelty and others more comfortable with tradition. Gábor Bretz has been a celebrated soloist at La Scala in Milan, the Sydney Opera House and the Salzburg Festival. The favourite role of Stephen Gould is Tannhäuser, while Markus Eiche has sung Wolfram from Tannhäuser, Donner from Das Rheingold and Gunther from Götterdämmerung at the Bayreuth Festival. The German Jürgen Linn lists all the major Wagnerian baritone roles on his repertoire. Tünde Szabóki, a perennial performer at the Budapest Wagner Days, is just as at home on the stages of Austria and Germany. Meanwhile, Sophie Koch began her career in Mozartian and Richard Strauss roles, expanding her repertoire with major Wagnerian heroines.
