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.

Not many works dare to apply the black, nay morbid humour that ...

- 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.
