Novus String Quartet, Liszt Academy Budapest, 30 September
- 30 Oct 2021 7:00 PM
- classical
The quartet is the pinnacle of chamber music playing. It is a field of classical music that requires adaptation and a measure of independence from the performers. Not everyone is suited to the string quartet.
In fact, they say you have to be born for it. Members of one of South Korea’s leading chamber music formations are musicians born for the quartet formation; they generated a real storm ...

GG Dance Eger As You Like It, National Dance Theatre Budapest, 12 October
- 12 Oct 2021 7:30 PM
- contemporary
In one of Shakespeare’s best-known comedies, brothers turn against each other, young people fall in love with each other, they laugh and cry, dress in disguise, lose and find each other again, and a sad clown who has an opinion about everyone also emerges.
This classic story is adapted in the language of dance by Harangozó Prize winner Noémi Kulcsár, who uses her grotesque and absurd humour ...
Liszt Fest 2021 Presents Cracow Singers, Budapest Music Center, 9 October

Ballet Company of Győr Performance, Palace of Arts Budapest, 6 October
- 6 Oct 2021 7:00 PM
- classical
Why can't two very different worlds enjoy each other's company?
This is exactly what will happen at this two-part evening with the Ballet Company of Győr: The ethereal beauty of the minimalist choreography by the group's artistic director András Lukács was inspired by Stravisky and will be followed by László Velekei's grandiose narrative balett that attests to the power of magical realism. ...
Székesfehérvár Ballet Theatre: Swan Lake, National Dance Theatre Budapest, 2 October
- 2 Oct 2021 7:45 PM
- contemporary
Compared to Swan Lake, the well-known version of the classical ballet, I wished to rephrase the piece from another aspect, in a different light. In my interpretation, Siegfried is a young man with a split mind, who is being held captive by the traumas of his childhood as a result of his relationship with his mother.
Each character and event in the piece is, in fact, a projection of ...

- 20 Sep 2021 7:00 PM
- contemporary
After the death of the Spanish painter Francisco Goya, fourteen frescoes were found on the walls of his home in Madrid, where he spent his final years. In the pictures, powerful, haunting motifs emphasised the painter's fear of mental disorder and his bleak vision of the fate of humanity.
Linning revives Goya’s paintings together with her own vision of today’s society and places them into the ...
Iván Fischer and the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Palace of Arts Budapest, 20 September
- 19 Sep 2021 7:30 PM
- classical
Audience will have a special evening to look forward to. There is no need to introduce the 70-year-old Iván Fischer to the Budapest audience.
Nevertheless, this concert will be an introduction in a certain sense, since it has always been at the helm of the Budapest Festival Orchestra that we've seen him perform ever since the ensemble made its debut on Christmas Day in 1983.
At this event ...
