At the helm since 2018 has been the dynamic Israeli Lahav Shani, ...

Spanish conductor Jaime Martín, whose “infectious enjoyment of the music,” according to The Telegraph, “communicates to the orchestra and audience alike,” will return to helm the BFO through Saint-Saëns’s most popular violin concerto and what Tchaikovsky considered to be his own finest symphonic work.
This concert merits an earworm alert, as both composers are famous for their catchy ...

Mozart: Don Giovanni, National Concert Hall Budapest, 9 September
- 9 Sep 2025 7:00 PM
- classical
“You’ll never truly know me,” says the world-famous seducer, and indeed: Don Giovanni’s character has remained unfathomable and endlessly captivating for centuries. Should we sympathise with him? Or condemn him?
Perhaps both? He is a complex and fascinating figure, who, with Lorenzo Da Ponte’s libretto and Mozart’s music, presents an eternal and rewarding challenge for directors. This is not ...
Wagner: Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, National Concert Hall Budapest, 26 June
- 26 Jun 2025 4:00 PM
- classical
It was between composing the first and second parts of the Ring cycle and after completing Tristan und Isolde that Wagner wrote his sole comic opera.
With its medieval setting, of course, this work goes far beyond a typical comic opera: it conveys a philosophy of life married to the composer’s own aesthetic principles. This hugely successful Budapest Wagner Days production is being staged ...
St Matthew Passion, Opera House Budapest, 19 April

The Saint Matthew Passion is Bach's greatest work, one which constitutes an unsurpassable pinnacle not only of Protestant church music, but in the universal history of music.
Forgotten after Bach's death, the work was played in Berlin on 11 March 1829, a century after its original performance, with Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy conducting.
The composer and conductor adapted the work to ...

A Czech conductor, three Czech composers and a Czech violinist: in short, a Czech concert. The programme opens with a suite from Janáček’s most unique opera, The Cunning Little Vixen, followed by (Dvořák’s son-in-law) Josef Suk’s Fantasy, which could be considered a kind of violin concerto.
Playing the solo part will be Jan Mráček, whose pinpoint intonation, phenomenal musicality and ...

Oratorical song cycle with Hungarian and English surtitles
Hungarian musicians have been able to perform the largest-scale work by the leader of the Second Viennese School only on one occasion, in 1998, under the instruction of Zoltán Kocsis.
Alongside Mahler's Symphony No. 8 and Britten's War Requiem, the opus is one of the works that require the largest ensemble in classical music. ...

While reunions have their own sort of magic, initial meetings are perhaps even more exciting. And for the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, one of Northern Europe’s top ensembles, this will be their first visit to Müpa Budapest.
And they couldn’t pick a better time, either, because they are celebrating their 100th anniversary this year! Since 2017, the orchestra has been led by a conductor ...
