- 4 Apr 2012 9:04 AM
- community & culture
"The UK has a strong image around the world and, as I’ve discovered, here in Hungary. We’re respected for our traditions, our reliability and the quality of what we produce. It’s a great advantage for us – whether we’re working in Embassies overseas or trying to do business there. But the British brand needs a refresh.

- 20 Mar 2012 8:00 AM

- community & culture
“Ascanio in Alba is a really unknown one even among Mozart’s unknown operas, but I do believe in this piece. This is a rarity which is only performed here in Europe. A young “lion” shows its nails in it, who wanted to succeed as an opera composer. And what happened? He was commissioned to compose an opera. And he immediately exercised some irony on this form of art. In my view this piece is like ...
