And this is exactly the extra bit of expertise possessed by the German horn player-turned-conductor Sebastian Weigle, who also earned the respect of the audience at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall when he took on Rienzi in 2017 and Ein deutsches Requiem in 2020 at the venue. Now he returns to rejoin his collaborator for those memorable concerts, the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra. On this evening, Müpa Budapest’s resident ensemble will first accompany Dezső Ránki in performing Brahms’s grand B-flat major piano concerto. It will then play Liszt’s Faust Symphony, which is rich with the ideas of Goethe, together with the superb Romanian tenor Ștefan Pop, a discovery from the Operalia opera competition, and the Hungarian National Male Choir.

Our offer


Pairing the two German composers, Wagner and the Wagnerian Strauss in a single evening creates a sweeping and overwhelming fusion of expansive melodies and driving dramatic force. The encounter between Wagner’s mythical intensity and Strauss’s modernism is a dialogue between two musical giants who reshaped not only German but also international musical life. In the performance of the OPERA Orchestra, their compositions promise deep emotions, dense musical textures, and sonic grandeur.

While the Fountain of Tears bubbles before him, Giray, khan of the Tatars, is lost in brooding. Just as the flow from the marble fount cannot be exhausted, his own sorrow will never diminish, either. The story of the Fountain of Bakhchisarai is set in motion by a romance recounting the reason for the khan's gloom.
