Ballet in Three Acts: Manon, Opera House Budapest, 18 March
- 18 Mar 2025 6:00 PM
- classical
During his career, Sir Kenneth MacMillan managed to reinvent not just the language of ballet, but also its subject matter: on many occasions he reached for modern, socially and societally charged themes that no one had ever dared to touch in any genre, let alone in dance.
He was met with this criticism also after the 1974 premiere of Manon: even though it won enormous acclaim from audiences, ...
Budapest Festival Orchestra, National Concert Hall Budapest, 17 February
- 17 Feb 2025 7:45 PM

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.

Julie Sassoon, Opus Jazz Club Budapest, 5 February
- 5 Feb 2025 8:00 PM

Woody Allen Move Screening: 'Café Society', Palace of Arts Budapest, 17 June
- 17 Jun 2024 7:00 PM
- contemporary
Though critics did like this film, they were far from bowled over by it. Most thought of it as a typical Woody Allen movie, where everything is predictable, though they certainly appreciated the visuals - Vittorio Storaro was the cinematographer. At first glance, it seems familiar. There is a love triangle (Steve Carell - Jesse Eisenberg - Kristen Stewart), a broken marriage, Hollywood, New York. ...
Mupa Cinema: Being Woody Allen, Palace of Arts, 10 June
- 10 Jun 2024 7:00 PM
- contemporary
Almost without exception, this film's universally delighted critics asserted that Woody Allen's movie was inspired by Tennessee Williams's play, A Streetcar Named Desire.
There is much truth to the idea, given the story... But perhaps more importantly, Blue Jasmine is immensely sophisticated theatre, even if it is no simple matter to make theatre without damaging the source material.
