Bucharest Opera schedules Wagner's Tannhäuser for upcoming season

06 August 2026 The first part of Bucharest National Opera’s 2026-2027 season will include 18 opera and ballet productions, including two premieres, namely Richard Wagner's Tannhäuser and Adolphe Charles Adam's Giselle. "We have designed the opening of the season so that audiences can enjoy both the great classics they love and productions they rarely have the opportunity to see on the stage of the Bucharest National Opera. We open with Tannhäuser, one of Wagner's greatest works, continue with the premiere of the ballet Giselle, and throughout the autumn, we present a program that appeals both to our loyal audience and to those visiting the Opera for the first time," Daniel Jinga, the general director of the Bucharest National Opera, explained. The season opens on October 1 and October 3 wi
