Ballet Pécs: Carmen, National Dance Theatre Budapest, 25 September
- 25 Sep 2026 7:00 PM
- classical
Carmen is the symbol of freedom. Her story is the drama of inextinguishable, uninhibited love.
"Carmen\'s story, the characters\' world of extreme emotions and Bizet\'s music is very powerful and inspiring. For me, the main inspiration comes from the sharp shifts between the story and the music. I find the characters\' unpredictability and their explosive tempers, which are the result of ...

“It was as if the real threat came from elsewhere, from somewhere beneath their feet, though its source was bound to be uncertain: a man will suddenly find silence frightening, he fears to move, he squats in a corner that he hopes might protect him: even chewing becomes a torture there and swallowing agony, so eventually he doesn’t even notice that everything around him has slowed, that he is ...

“The sun drives sin far from the earth!” If there is one opera that gets down to brass tacks and speaks to everyone, it is The Magic Flute.
For the first time since 2015, Iván Fischer is staging Mozart’s philosophical fairy tale that pits good against evil, light against darkness, right against wrong, courage against fear, wisdom against superstition, and revenge against forgiveness. The ...

Masterpieces never grow old; in fact, it is our duty to revisit them from time to time, no matter the art form.
Conceived in the spirit of what Richard Wagner referred to as the Gesamtkunstwerk (a total work of art), The Ring of the Nibelung is a cohesive blend of music, visuals, meaning and expression, and the Budapest Wagner Days production has strived to faithfully honour the composer’s ...

Budapest Dance Theatre: Wonderful World, National Dance Theatre, 3 June
- 3 Jun 2026 7:00 PM
- contemporary
The curtain rises, soft jazz music plays in the dim, smoke-filled light. The sound of a solo trumpet instantly captivates everyone in the bar. It is night-time. We can barely discern the figures in the dim light, and yet they tell us that even though they are physically present, their thoughts and spirits have already wandered far away under the spell of the music.
The various characters ...
The Cup of My Blood, National Dance Theatre Budapest, 27 May

Christianity and its fundamental purpose are based on the resurrection of Christ. However, no one has ever given a voice to the sole eyewitness of this epoch-making event: Mary Magdalene.
There lies the body of the Messiah before her, and in her monologue she shares her thoughts and inner turmoil with us. Mary Magdalene conjures up another possible reality, bringing to life another plausible ...

At this concert, the BFO will take us on a musical journey along the Rhine, both to its banks – in the form of Schumann’s symphony inspired by some pleasant experiences there – and its depths, with a scene from Wagner.
The former commemorates a peaceful riverside excursion to the Rhine, and the latter is one of the most famous excerpts from the monumental opera tetralogy The Ring of the ...
