Start your 2026 with a moment of musical awe. Haydn’s monumental oratorio, The Creation, remains one of the most captivating works of the Enlightenment, painting a vivid sonic picture of the world’s beginning— from the first spark of light to the appearance of the stars, animals, and mankind.

For the Budapest expat community and music lovers alike, the New Year’s concert at Müpa Budapest has become a cherished tradition. It is a rare opportunity to experience Haydn’s wit and dramatic imagery under the baton of the legendary Ádám Fischer.

This year’s production features a world-class line-up:

The Danish Chamber Orchestra: Known for their long-standing artistic partnership with Fischer.

The Vienna Arnold Schoenberg Choir: One of Europe’s most prestigious ensembles.

Soloists: The evening features the exceptional voices of Nikola Hillebrand, Mauro Peter, and Andreas Bauer Kanabas.

Whether you are a classical devotee or simply looking for a sophisticated way to ring in the New Year, this performance promises to be a highlight of the season.
