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 ...
Stephen the King, Opera House Budapest, 9 January
- 9 Jan 2026 7:00 PM

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, ...

Requiem, Opera House Budapest, 2 November
- 2 Nov 2025 7:00 PM
- classical
Staged oratorio in Latin, with Hungarian, English, and Latin subtitles
In recent years, even decades, it has become a common practice to completely or partially stage certain oratorical works. After Messiah and Matthäus-Passion, nothing could be more suitable to continue the practice than Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem, which is claimed by many, half-seriously, but certainly aptly, to be their ...

Donizetti's Maria Stuarda, Opera House Budapest, 31 May

- classical
Many of Bergamo-born Gaetano Donizetti's operas have already been staged in Budapest, such as recent productions of La fille du régiment, Lucia di Lammermoor, Il campanello, or the frequently performed comic opera Don Pasquale.
However, his great operas of historical dramas have so far been neglected, with the exception of Anna Bolena, which has not been performed in decades, either. It is ...
Giuseppe Verdi: Don Carlo, Opera House Budapest, 25 May
- 25 May 2025 6:00 PM
- classical
Verdi took Schiller’s drama, a work whose nearly every line is permeated with social and political ideas, and poured it into music in a way that emphasises individual emotions and spiritual vibrations.

- 13 May 2025 5:20 PM
- contemporary
From Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály through György Martin and Sándor Tímár to Ferenc Novák, the diverse folk art of the Mezőség region has attracted the interest of many collectors.

“We want to show our feelings, our love for the region and its beauty. A ...
