Don Giovanni, Opera House Budapest, 12 May
- 12 May 2026 6:00 PM
- classical
There are works of art that are timeless, that you cannot get tired of, that cannot be performed too many times.
Don Giovanni by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is no exception – it is no coincidence that it is known as the “opera of operas”. And some productions, even if they were staged several decades ago, are still relevant and worth revisiting.
One such production is Don Giovanni, directed ...

Over the past few years, the compelling multi-arts productions of the Pure Source series have looked at the music Béla Bartók collected in Turkey, the connections between folk and baroque music, and Bartók’s influence on jazz.

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 ...

- 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.
