St Matthew Passion, Opera House Budapest, 29 March

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 Romantic ...
Mozart's The Goose of Cairo, or The Deluded Bridegroom, Eiffel Studios Budapest, 20 February
- 20 Feb 2026 7:00 PM
- classical
After the success of Die Entführung aus dem Serail, Mozart set himself to composing two new operas, but gave up on both of them. In terms of style. We can regard the two fragmentary comedies L'oca del Cairo and Lo sposo deluso as precursors to Figaro and Così, and at times even the world of Don Giovanni is discernable.
The completed parts were never staged in Mozart's lifetime, but since his ...

Mupa Film Club: Emir Kusturica - Life Is a Miracle, Palace of Arts, 9 February
- 9 Feb 2026 6:30 PM
- contemporary
In 2024, Emir Kusturica & The No Smoking Orchestra returned to perform at Müpa Budapest. The night was one big party. Was it what we would call folk punk? Balkan rollicking?
Categories are meaningless. Kusturica is very consistent in his use of music in his films. (Sometimes the songs even become hits.) In this case, he wrote them himself.
The story takes place in the early ’90s, during ...

By far the most successful of the Hungarian crop of rock operas, ever since its original album release Stephen, the King has had not only symphonic features but has also been pervaded by the vocal, closed number structure characteristic of traditional operas, the presence of large tableaus, and instrumentation that gives the rock music universal perspectives.
The poems for Levente Szörényi, ...

This is a special road movie as its young protagonists do not make it out onto the open highway – they cruise around town. The dramaturgy ...
