Budapest Festival Orchestra: Mahler, National Concert Hall, 18 May
- 18 May 2026 7:45 PM
- classical
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 ...
Ballet: Swan Lake, Opera House Budapest, 14 May
- 14 May 2026 6:00 PM
- classical
Tchaikovsky’s first ballet is the most beloved classical piece in ballet literature: while the hardships of love between a prince forced into marriage and a maiden enchanted into the form of a swan is one of the most charming Russian romantic fairy tales, the piece nevertheless failed at its original premiere in 1877.
The choreographers creating the premiere were simply not equal to ...
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 ...
Gallery Concert – Opera on the Organ, National Concert Hall Budapest, 4 May
- 4 May 2026 7:00 PM
- classical
Let’s imagine the opera house is just a few steps from the church, because tonight is the night the organ pipes will bring the most thrilling moments of opera to life.
The organist István Mátyás, a lecturer at the Music Academy in Vienna, worked for years as a musical assistant to the Theater an der Wien.
For his gallery recital, excerpts from the operas of Mozart, Wagner, Bizet, ...
Carl Off: Carmina Burana, Opera House Budapest, 26 May
- 26 Apr 2026 7:00 PM
- classical
O Fortuna. Everyone knows the overwhelmingly powerful opening motifs of Carl Orff's most famous work. What fewer people know is that Carmina Burana was not intended to be an oratorical work, but was instead expressly meant for the stage.
This becomes clear from the piece's (originally Latin) subtitle: “Secular songs for singers and chorus to be sung together with instruments and magical ...
Ludwig van Beethoven: Fidelio, Opera House Budapest, 18 April
- 18 Apr 2026 6:03 PM
- classical
Amidst the many stories of strong and heroic men, a work where true strength and resolution are embodied by a woman – even if she must disguise herself as a man to achieve her goal – always raises fascinating questions.
Ludwig van Beethoven’s only opera brings together multiple traditions: it incorporates the Singspiel (a musical drama with spoken dialogue), an almost fairy-tale-like happy ...
Richard Wagner: Parsifal, Opera Budapest, 5 April
- 5 Apr 2026 5:00 PM
- classical
In Parsifal, his final music drama, Wagner embeds fear of the temptations of the world and sinful desires into a tale of redemption. The work is indeed a festival play for the stage rather than an opera.
Many viewers – perhaps out of their own fears – criticised Wagner, who wrote both the libretto and the music, for what could be called the piece’s virtue and remarkable complexity, which is ...
St Matthew Passion, Opera House Budapest, 2 April
- 2 Apr 2026 7:00 PM
- classical
Saint Matthew Passion is Bach's greatest work, one which constitutes an unsurpassable pinnacle not only of Protestant church music, but in the universal history of music.
Forgotten after Bach's death, the work was played in Berlin on 11 March 1829, a century after its original performance, with Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy conducting.
The composer and conductor adapted the work to Romantic ...
Verdi's Rigoletto, Opera House Budapest, 24 March
- 24 Mar 2026 6:30 PM
- classical
Opera in three acts, in Italian, with Hungarian, English, and Italian subtitles
The lecherous noblemen of the Mantuan court must be entertained, and a deformed jester spares no one his jeers to ensure that they are. And yet he prays that the scathing mockery he heaps on the suffering of others will not return to haunt him.
All he must do is seal his work off from his family life. But when ...
