The season’s undeniable prestige production, this new Tristan und Isolde features MET music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducting, with Lise Davidsen and Michael Spyres in the dual title roles. Two of the most thrilling figures in opera today – the Norwegian wonder-soprano now ripe for Isolde and the American (bari)tenor known for boldly navigating styles and voice types – go under the lights in Yuval Sharon’s visionary staging. Surrounding them are familiar names like Tomasz Konieczny, beloved guest of the Budapest Wagner Days, and mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova, memorable for her successes in MET HD broadcasts since their inception.
The broadcast will be sung in the original language, and shown with Hungarian and English subtitles.

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
