Siegfried, Budapest Opera

“The Wanderer was sung by a veteran of the role, Egils Silins ruling the stage, his smooth, sonorous bass-baritone unfaltering throughout, delivering the best performance of the night. His portrayal was fascinating, showing off confidence and almost mischievous glee when dealing with Alberich and Mime, but quickly turning to confusion and despair in Act 3, his loss of power acutely felt.”
