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.

- 9 Oct 2024 7:00 PM
- classical
From the autumn of 1861, Liszt spent more and more time in Rome, where his interest turned towards church music. In 1862 he completed his first oratorio, The Legend of St Elizabeth.

Budapest Festival Orchestra, National Concert Hall Budapest, 25 March
- 25 Mar 2024 7:45 PM
- classical
One of two surviving Bach passions, the Saint Matthew Passion, which can be considered the zenith of Protestant church music, is often performed today as a purely musical piece, even though it really is an example of applied music at its best, or as Iván Fischer describes it, "a ritual with spiritual content.”
When it was first presented on Good Friday 1727, the work was paused between its ...
'The Rhinegold', Palace of Arts Budapest, 15 June
- 15 Jun 2023 6:00 PM
- classical
Das Rheingold is the introduction to the storyline, depicting the central conflict. Starting from a primeval state of peace, the opera shows how the original sin was committed, triggering a chain of events that eventually lead to complete annihilation.
Over and over again, one is haunted by the suspicion that the myth is not about gods, giants and dwarfs, but about ourselves: it is not so ...
