When, Baron van Swieten, known from Hungarian history as the head of the school programmes of Maria Theresa and her son Joseph II, commissioned Mozart to prepare arrangements of four works by Händel, no one could yet know that among them the Messiah would remain a festive delicacy for the world 250 years later.
Mozart shortened the work and enriched it with new instruments, yet in the spirit ...
Hungarian Christmas, Opera House, 17 & 18 December
- 17 Dec 2025 3:00 PM
- 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.
On Christmas 1931, Hungarian Christmas premiered with the ...
The Nutcracker, Hungarian State Opera Budapest, 16 December
- 16 Dec 2025 6:00 PM
- classical
Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker has for decades been an essential part of the world’s and the OPERA’s run-up to Christmas. In memory of the previous production that had been in the repertoire for more than half a century, for the Christmas of 2015, a newly buffed-up show was staged that follows classical ballet traditions while still conforming to the requirements of 21st century dance and set design. ...
Cecilia Bartoli & Les Musiciens du Prince-Monaco, National Concert Hall Budapest, 15 December
- 15 Dec 2025 7:00 PM
- classical
Cecilia Bartoli is returning to Müpa Budapest! Any chance to host the world-famous Italian coloratura soprano/mezzo-soprano is a cause for celebration: her appearances are invariably made extraordinary by her cascading displays of scintillating technical feats and the emotional and passionate intensity of her performances.
On this occasion she will headline one of the immortal masterpieces ...

Mozart's: The Magic Flute, Opera House Budapest, 24 December
- 4 Dec 2025 6:00 PM

The combination of Mozart's marvellous music and Schikaneder's coming-of-age storyline has something to tell us at every stage of life.
No matter if you are discovering or rediscovering the work as a young lover, a parent, or with the wisdom of old age, this blend of the ethereal and riveting entertainment is always thrilling to watch.
Miklós Szinetár's production is suffused with the ...
Donizetti's Don Pasquale, Opera House Budapest, 19 November
- 19 Nov 2025 6:30 PM
- classical
There are evenings when our Opera House cannot perform because rehearsals are ongoing on stage until the evening. There are audience members who can only afford to hear their favourite pieces with a discount. And there are works that, although very popular, cannot be staged every season due to the congestion of productions.
All these issues can be solved at once by the Hungarian State Opera’s ...
Romeo and Juliet, Opera House Budapest, 12 November
- 12 Nov 2025 6:30 PM
- classical
"There's an old, slightly cynical, adage in the theatre that says, when you're out of ideas, produce a Shakespearean work." This is how the ballet's choreographer, László Seregi, put it at the time of the premiere.
However, Romeo and Juliet would thoroughly debunk the self-irony in this quip and go on to become one of Hungary's most famous ballet classics.
Seregi's spectacular and ...

In recent years, the joint performances by Erika Miklósa and János Balázs have become among the most anticipated events not only of the Cziffra Festival but also in Hungarian classical music circles.

The evening, which explores the interplay ...
