Henrik nanasi biography of barack

The Hungarian conductor Henrik Nánási will be conducting Rusalka at the Bayerische Staatsoper from 14 May, but his international career, and wide-ranging repertoire, will soon see him taking off again, to various Italian cities, to London, Madrid, Seville, and Budapest in his beloved homeland.

Nánási was more rooted in one place from 2012 to 2017 when he was General Music Director of the Komische Oper Berlin – a city that he now calls home – but he is accustomed to hopping around the globe.

Travelling a lot has accompanied me my whole life.

During my studies I was constantly commuting between Budapest and Vienna, later between Vienna and Munich etc. Sometimes that gets tiring, of course, but I always try to take the maximum of everything positive with me.

I love meeting new people, new cultures, new cities, and of course, if you’ve grown fond of some places, it’s all the nicer to return there
