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 ...
The Scarlet Letter, National Dance Theatre Budapest, 31 January
- 28 Jan 2026 4:40 PM
- contemporary
Ballet Company of Győr has prepared another two act, full-length ballet for the 2017/18 season. They have undertaken the challenge of adapting American author, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s classic, The Scarlet Letter, to ballet for the first time.
Hawthorne was a key figure in 19th century American literature. He wrote his first novel, The Scarlet Letter, when he was 46, in 1850, and it was an ...
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 ...
Mupa Film Club: Music Till Death Do Us Part, Palace of Arts Budapest, 17 November
- 17 Nov 2025 1:49 PM
- contemporary
First there was The Graduate (1967) and then there was the rest of the graduate’s life. The story of a one-night stand set in 1962, George Lucas’s second film was nominated for five Oscars, including those for best film, best director and best screenplay.
This is a special road movie as its young protagonists do not make it out onto the open highway – they cruise around town. The dramaturgy ...
Giacomo Puccini, Schicchi 2.0, Opera House Budapest, 16 October
- 16 Oct 2025 2:00 PM
- classical
We can safely say that Gianni Schicchi is one of the most entertaining comic works of opera literature, which stands out even in the opera oeuvre of Giacomo Puccini with its wittiness.
Ingenious moments chase one another both in the vocal and orchestral parts, and also through the text and the incredibly funny situations.
Not many works dare to apply the black, nay morbid humour that ...
Mupa Film Club: Richard Lester: Help, Palace of Arts Budapest, 22 September
- 22 Sep 2025 7:00 PM
- contemporary
“Rock n’ Roll? It will be gone by June,” wrote Variety Magazine in 1955. That didn’t age well. It happens. In 1962, a record company from Hamburg made little fuss of parting company with a new band that would be playing in front of rabid crowds in Great Britain just a year later.
It had something to do with beetles... By 1964, the film A Hard Day’s Night with its four strange mushroom-headed ...

Two Decades of Müpa Budapest in Images, Video & Sound
- 28 Jul 2025 10:00 AM
- contemporary
Müpa Budapest – then known as the Palace of Arts – opened its doors two decades ago, on 14 March 2005.
It seems almost inconceivable that some 25,000 events have taken place in the building in the 20 years since, while the number of artists who have performed within its walls is approaching a million.
On the occasion of the anniversary, and as one of Müpa’s largest exhibitions to date, we ...
Gallery Concert – The Sound of the Organ in a New Dimension, National Concert Hall Budapest, 19 May
- 19 May 2025 7:00 PM
- classical
One hundred instruments played by a single person: what is this all about? The organ is one of the most multifaceted instruments in existence. Now, in the Gallery Concerts series, it will be placed in a new light, both literally and figuratively.
After the canopy above our heads descends, the audience in the gallery will enjoy an unparalleled acoustic experience as they listen to pieces from ...
