Wagner: Siegfried / BUDAPESTI WAGNER-NAPOK

Wagner: Siegfried / BUDAPESTI WAGNER-NAPOK

There's an old Hungarian expression: "It's better to fear than to become frightened." Siegfried, the hero of German mythology and Wagner's opera, is primarily famous precisely for knowing no fear. A high-spirited son of the forest and a friend of the wild animals living in it, this enormously strong young lad is not somebody one would want to tangle with.  more

There's an old Hungarian expression: "It's better to fear than to become frightened." Siegfried, the hero of German mythology and Wagner's opera, is primarily famous precisely for knowing no fear. A high-spirited son of the forest and a friend of the wild animals living in it, this enormously strong young lad is not somebody one would want to tangle with. Few people in today's world bear much resemblance to him. Nevertheless, we are all Siegfrieds in a certain sense in that most of us have trouble discovering who we really are, and it is only as we travel down the path of life that we gradually learn what we are truly capable of.

A rainbow of sounds from the orchestra, enigmatic dialogues and mysterious riddles. Not to mention a treacherous dwarf and a glorious young hero. Who after slaying a dragon and tasting its blood, is able to understand the prophetic singing of a bird. And then crosses through a wall of fire to discover both the woman who is his mate and, through his love for her, fear. These moments - along with a host of other ones - are what make the tale of Siegfried so magical. But there are many other aspects as well, such as generational conflict, when the brash youngster settles the score with an ageing Wotan, now known simply as the Wanderer, in the crudest possible terms. The work also contains a warning: at every fork of the road, inescapable Fate is hiding behind the trees. One has to ask: is Siegfried truly a worthy successor to the Wälsung name? Or is his instinctive behaviour a sign of decline, meaning that he himself is merely an unwitting implement of destiny? As a great artist, Wagner rarely provides clear answers. Bringing back his wonderful Mime from 2015 is Jürgen Sacher. We'll recently have had the opportunity to hear both Egils Silins's Wanderer and Iréne Theorin's Brünnhilde again in 2022. Another constantly robust component of the Budapest Wagner Days series will be Péter Kálmán with his splendid Alberich.

Our offer


Isten eljön hozzánk, mert nagyon sok mondanivalója van. Megosztja gondolatait az elmúlt néhány tízezer év történéseiről és tapasztalatairól, válaszol az időközben felmerült kérdésekre és bemutatja a projekt fejlesztésének további lépcsőit.

Több mint két évtizede, alapítóként köszönt be egy nagy hellóval - 2024-ben pedig egy hangos goodbye-jal búcsúzik a Szent Efrémtől Bubnó Márk. Az együttes maghatározó hangja és arca, a minden nyelven (is) hibátlanul éneklő hangfenomén, a mellékállásban faápoló és ironman „Marcika” ezen az estén áll utoljára színpadra Magyarország legnépszerűbb vokális együttesével.

Ezt a darabot irodalmunk tényleges szereplői és azok sorsa ihlették. A részleteket azonban sokhelyütt a szerzők és a műfaj igényei alakították.
