Die Walküre out on DVD
If you are looking to take this magical experience home, you will be happy to know that the recording of the 17 June 2016 performance of Die Walküre is now available on DVD, with a Blu-ray release following shortly in July. The second part of the Budapest Wagner Days Opera Festival’s hugely successful Ring tetralogy featured world-renowned singers such as Anja Kampe, Evelyn Herlitzius and Walter Fink. Sadly, this also turned out to be the final Wagner role played by Johan Botha, who passed away shortly after the production. The performance was conducted by Ádám Fischer, artistic director for Budapest Wagner Days.

The season may be coming to an end, but you won’t have to be without your favourite music in the summer either. The classical and popular music playlists freshly compiled by Müpa Budapest on Spotify and Deezer are just a click away, giving you the chance to tune in to the summer whether you in classical or popular mood. Obviously, no classical playlist is complete without La Mer or A Midsummer Night's Dream, while those who prefer the lighter side of music are surely happy to listen to Al Di Meola’s Mediterranean Sundance or Hiperkarma’s Délibáb.

Since 1 July, visitors to the Müpa Budapest website and social media accounts have been able to watch video that gives them a 360-degree view of performers at the venue. Following unique footage of the Wagner in Budapest festival, you are now invited to take a glimpse into the world of the circus. Our second 360-degree video has been created in collaboration with the Recirquel Company and is the first step towards a futuristic concept that aims to reach a new audience of open-minded concert-goers through virtual and augmented reality. The three-minute clip was stitched together from media recorded by ten cameras to allow the viewer to marvel at the precise movements of the Recirquel artistes in 360 degrees and almost within touching distance. The sequence had to be repeated five times, which not only demanded enormous concentration and effort from the artistes, but also required them to follow a complex choreography.

The musician, whose expert contribution helped make the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall organ (inaugurated in May 2006) one of the most significant instruments in Europe today, will be performing a concert at Müpa Budapest on 17 March with invited guest musicians.
