Keep Floyding, A38 Ship Budapest, 24 January
- 24 Jan 2026 7:00 PM
- contemporary
Keep Floyding’s 2025 season opener is titled Random Precision. As you might expect from us, the poster and the title carry hidden references, but the true solution to this “random precision” awaits you on stage.
This time, we are intentionally going against the grain of the more distant world of seated concerts. For the band, the magic of the A38 Ship lies exactly in what is impossible in ...
Stephen the King, Opera House Budapest, 9 January
- 9 Jan 2026 7:00 PM
- classical
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, ...
La Bohème Opera Performance, Opera Budapest, 26 December
- 26 Dec 2025 6:30 PM
- classical
Opera in three parts, four acts, in Italian, with Hungarian, English, and Italian subtitles.
Some operas are legendary. None more so than Puccini's work telling the tale of young bohemians in Paris, in which one of the most beautiful romances in operatic literature begins with a burnt-out candle and a misplaced key.
There are also legendary opera productions, such as this one directed by ...

- classical
Jenő Ádám, a student of Kodály’s and perhaps his greatest contemporary admirer, was also the one who structured and developed his pedagogical method: his Christmas one-act was the first work at the Opera House, which placed the pure Hungarian folk song on the same stage as the works of the great figures of classical music history.

- classical
Cecilia Bartoli is returning to Müpa Budapest! Any chance to host the world-famous Italian coloratura soprano/mezzo-soprano is a cause for celebration: her appearances are invariably made extraordinary by her cascading displays of scintillating technical feats and the emotional and passionate intensity of her performances.
On this occasion she will headline one of the immortal masterpieces ...
World Stars: Dave Holland Trio, Budapest Jazz Club, 3 November
- 3 Nov 2025 7:00 PM
- contemporary
Dave Holland’s name is inseparably linked with the jazz music that defined the second half of the 20th century. He was barely in his twenties when Miles Davis discovered him in a London club and immediately invited him to the United States.
That decision changed his life forever — and altered the course of modern jazz history as well, since Holland was the bassist on landmark recordings such ...
