@hugh_canning @Eurostar I hope you made your connections. I made it to Eurostar, just.

Last day of the Wagner days, Parsifal with a marvellous Magnus Vigilius and Tijl Favejts as Gurnemanz, Anja Kampe Kundry. Under the scorching heat dome of Europe @MupaBudapest was a haven, and fine music making.

Final Ring cycle for Ádám Fischer, the end of an era, I am so happy to witness. Stefan Vinke Siegfried, Daniela Köhler Brünhilde, Albert Pesendorfer Hagen, Birger Rudde Gunther.

[Gabriella K @Gkbalaton]

The Ring cycle continued at @MupaBudapest with a superb Siegfried, Magnus Vigilius and Magdalena Anna Hofmann as Brünhilde, Derek Welton Wotan and Jürgen Sacher Mime. Up with the RBO 2026 spring performances, in my view. How lucky to have seen two such performances in a year!

[Gabriella K @Gkbalaton]

@FerretKingRT @MupaBudapest I have seen many Wotans, and even him a couple of years ago here at Müpa, but yesterday, it was something else… exceptional.

[Gabriella K @Gkbalaton]

Superlatives for Die Walküre, at @MupaBudapest with Ádám Fischer ❤️conducting.
Wotan’s farewell, with Tomasz Konieczny ❤️ portraying the powerful god and loving father so unforgettably beautifully. Magdalena A Hofmann, Elisabet Strid, B Register, Schöck Atala, A Pesendorfer 👏

@MarkValencia @stephenkeeler 💯, I actually bring back some when travelling back from France.

@Wisdom_HQ Fill 13, then pour from this into the 5, so 8 is left in the large pot, which is given to the boy. Repeat this again, that leaves 16 with the boy, then fill 5 from the boy’s 16, which will leave him with 11.

UK universities are among the country’s most successful institutions. The fact that successive governments have maintained a fundamentally unsustainable funding model, forcing universities into a slow-motion financial crisis, will go down as a failure of historic proportion

@AliceCoote @mtilsonthomas 2024 May and October; Mahler at the Barbican. Unforgettable. ❤️

@joni_askola Also, he was convinced they will win, so did not have a planB. He did not attempt a coup, because he did not anticipate defeat.

@AmbPressman Thank you! You lived in Hungary and experienced the hopelessness of OV’s autocracy, so you can understand even more than others, what an achievement this is. You challenged the regime, and were an outstanding ambassador.

To my friends in Hungary:
A világ veled áll, miközben visszaszerzed, ami a tiéd

🇭🇺Voting in Hungary is underway. Opposition leader Péter Magyar, leading in polls, has voted. Turnout at 7am is 3.46%—a record, double 4 years ago. Early data shows opposition areas overperforming, while Fidesz strongholds lag.

London this morning. The Hungarian diaspora makes its mark on the results. Unreal, record-breaking participation from Hungarians everywhere.

@rbo_org Q: For today’s Rigoletto, yesterday there were still lots of expensive stall seats unsold, but by today they are all gone. I called yesterday your box office asking for any discount on those seats, getting a resounding NO.
How were those seats sold? Why not open to all?

@SziromJ A 2022-es választáson az Angliában szavazók 85%-a a Fidesz ellen szavazott. Ezek a személyesen leadott szavazatok, a magyarországi lakcímmel rendelkező, de külföldön tartózkodóktól.
De a határon túli, lakcímmel nem rendelkező magyarok levélszavazatainak 94%a Fideszé volt.
