Das Rheingold

The year 2022 will mark the 14th anniversary of the first occasion when Wagner's complete Ring cycle was performed in its entirety at Müpa Budapest, and now the audience, already familiar with the revised version of Hartmut Schörghofer's legendary production, will get to see it again. The story of the Ring of the Nibelung is one of humanity's greatest artistic works, a monumental achievement that can be likened to the ceiling frescoes of the Sistine Chapel, the Divine Comedy or Joseph and His Brothers: we owe it to ourselves to delve into it from time to time.
