- 21 Dec 2023 6:00 PM
- classical
Opera in three parts, four acts, in Italian, with Hungarian, English, and Italian subtitles.
Some operas are legendary. None more so than Puccini's work telling the tale of young bohemians in Paris, in which one of the most beautiful romances in operatic literature begins with a burnt-out candle and a misplaced key.
There are also legendary opera productions, such as this one directed by ...

Das Rheingold is the introduction to the storyline, depicting the central conflict. Starting from a primeval state of peace, the opera shows how the original sin was committed, triggering a chain of events that eventually lead to complete annihilation.
Over and over again, one is haunted by the suspicion that the myth is not about gods, giants and dwarfs, but about ourselves: it is not so ...

This Halloween concert is the result of a new initiative of the Budafok Dohnanyi Orchestra that they believe will prove to be a creative and joyful one for many people. Instead of attempting to evoke the commercialized American folk festival, it harkens back to the ancient Celtic tradition, lining up music that ranges from terrifying to cathartic to playful.
"Basically, we have a very strange, ...
