Stephen the King, Opera House Budapest, 9 January
- 9 Jan 2026 7:00 PM
- classical
By far the most successful of the Hungarian crop of rock operas, ever since its original album release Stephen, the King has had not only symphonic features but has also been pervaded by the vocal, closed number structure characteristic of traditional operas, the presence of large tableaus, and instrumentation that gives the rock music universal perspectives.

Donizetti's Don Pasquale, Opera House Budapest, 19 November
- 19 Nov 2025 6:30 PM
- classical
There are evenings when our Opera House cannot perform because rehearsals are ongoing on stage until the evening. There are audience members who can only afford to hear their favourite pieces with a discount. And there are works that, although very popular, cannot be staged every season due to the congestion of productions.
All these issues can be solved at once by the Hungarian State Opera’s ...
Stars Recitals with Piano: Georg Zeppenfeld, Eiffel Art Studios Budapest, 12 May
- 12 May 2025 7:00 PM
- classical
German bass Georg Zeppenfeld originally trained as a music and German teacher, and only then began his singing studies.
According to his own admission, it was not easy for him or his voice teacher, because the Westphalian dialect is not necessarily suitable for opera singing. However, their joint work proved successful, and Zeppenfeld now performs the most important roles.
Beside German ...

Budapest Festival Orchestra, National Concert Hall Budapest, 9 December
- 9 Dec 2024 7:45 PM
- classical
A rarely heard suite, a classical concerto, a tribute to Bach and the capstone of a symphonic oeuvre.
This is what this sometimes fiery concert flowing with the air of Northern Europe and conducted by regular BFO guest conductor Robin Ticciati has to offer. Bookending the programme are two works by Sibelius: the first incidental music he wrote for a theatrical play and his Seventh Symphony, ...

Taking the stage at Müpa Budapest on this evening will be the creative spirit Philippe Herreweghe joined by the world-famous workshops he founded: the Collegium Vocale Gent and the Orchestre des Champs-Elysées.

Angélique Kidjo: Mother Nature - World Music, National Concert Hall, 1 May
- 1 May 2024 7:45 PM
- contemporary
As incredible as it may sound, the multifaceted Afropop star Angélique Kidjo, one of the pivotal African performing artists of the past more than thirty years, is still yet to make an appearance in Hungary.
Until now, that is, as we are fortunate that her tour celebrating a career of over forty years will take her to Müpa Budapest, where the five-time Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter ...
