Händel – Mozart: Messiah, Opera House Budapest, 22 December
- 22 Dec 2025 7:00 PM
- classical
When, Baron van Swieten, known from Hungarian history as the head of the school programmes of Maria Theresa and her son Joseph II, commissioned Mozart to prepare arrangements of four works by Händel, no one could yet know that among them the Messiah would remain a festive delicacy for the world 250 years later.
Mozart shortened the work and enriched it with new instruments, yet in the spirit ...
The Nutcracker, Hungarian State Opera Budapest, 14 December
- 14 Dec 2025 6:00 PM
- classical
Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker has for decades been an essential part of the world’s and the OPERA’s run-up to Christmas. In memory of the previous production that had been in the repertoire for more than half a century, for the Christmas of 2015, a newly buffed-up show was staged that follows classical ballet traditions while still conforming to the requirements of 21st century dance and set design. ...

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 ...
Romeo and Juliet, Opera House Budapest, 12 November
- 12 Nov 2025 6:30 PM
- classical
"There's an old, slightly cynical, adage in the theatre that says, when you're out of ideas, produce a Shakespearean work." This is how the ballet's choreographer, László Seregi, put it at the time of the premiere.
However, Romeo and Juliet would thoroughly debunk the self-irony in this quip and go on to become one of Hungary's most famous ballet classics.
Seregi's spectacular and ...

Staged oratorio in Latin, with Hungarian, English, and Latin subtitles
In recent years, even decades, it has become a common practice to completely or partially stage certain oratorical works.

Giacomo Puccini, Schicchi 2.0, Opera House Budapest, 16 October
- 16 Oct 2025 2:00 PM
- classical
We can safely say that Gianni Schicchi is one of the most entertaining comic works of opera literature, which stands out even in the opera oeuvre of Giacomo Puccini with its wittiness.
Ingenious moments chase one another both in the vocal and orchestral parts, and also through the text and the incredibly funny situations.
Not many works dare to apply the black, nay morbid humour that ...
