Budapest Dance Theatre: Wonderful World, National Dance Theatre, 3 June
- 3 Jun 2026 7:00 PM
- contemporary
The curtain rises, soft jazz music plays in the dim, smoke-filled light. The sound of a solo trumpet instantly captivates everyone in the bar. It is night-time. We can barely discern the figures in the dim light, and yet they tell us that even though they are physically present, their thoughts and spirits have already wandered far away under the spell of the music.
The various characters ...

L'italiana in Algeri, Opera House Budapest, 30 May
- 30 May 2026 6:30 PM
- classical
After Il barbiere di Siviglia and La Cenerentola, Rossini's third most frequently performed opera is L'italiana in Algeri.

The Abduction from the Seraglio, Eiffel Arts Studios Budapest, 29 May
- 29 May 2026 7:00 PM
- classical
A gripping plot – in this case the story of young lovers fighting to escape the seraglio – is in and of itself one of the keys to a successful dramatic work. However, the varied music written by a twenty-something Mozart, with its freshness and a few oriental touches, makes the singspiel The Abduction from the Seraglio completely irresistible.
The production, the first opera staging by Miklós ...

The former commemorates a peaceful riverside excursion to the Rhine, and the latter is one of the most famous excerpts from the monumental opera tetralogy The Ring of the ...
Ballet: Swan Lake, Opera House Budapest, 14 May
- 14 May 2026 6:00 PM
- classical
Tchaikovsky’s first ballet is the most beloved classical piece in ballet literature: while the hardships of love between a prince forced into marriage and a maiden enchanted into the form of a swan is one of the most charming Russian romantic fairy tales, the piece nevertheless failed at its original premiere in 1877.
The choreographers creating the premiere were simply not equal to ...
Don Giovanni, Opera House Budapest, 12 May
- 12 May 2026 6:00 PM
- classical
There are works of art that are timeless, that you cannot get tired of, that cannot be performed too many times.
Don Giovanni by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is no exception – it is no coincidence that it is known as the “opera of operas”. And some productions, even if they were staged several decades ago, are still relevant and worth revisiting.
One such production is Don Giovanni, directed ...

In 1991, the calm waters of Budapest’s opera scene were suddenly stirred by a young girl, not even twenty, from Kiskunhalas.

Erika Miklósa made her debut as Papagena, with a background in sports, a radiant ...
