Richard Wagner: Parsifal, Hungarian State Opera Budapest, 31 March
- 31 Mar 2024 4:00 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 ...

Punnany Massif - Punnany, National Concert Hall Budapest, 27 March
- 27 Mar 2024 8:00 PM
- classical
Hailing from Pécs, Punnany Massif have enjoyed a monumental journey in the 20 action-packed years since the band established from the initial pairing of two MCs, Máté Felcser (RendbenMan) and Roland Farkas (Wolfie) got together in 2003.
By the 2010s, they had won the hearts of the Hungarian masses with their self-blended, trendsetting musical cocktail.
Following their anniversary year in ...
Gala Concert, Opera House Budapest, 26 March
- 26 Mar 2024 7:30 PM
- classical
Nine years ago, we celebrated the bicentenary of the birth of a great admirer of Italian Renaissance, the legendary Hungarian architect Miklós Ybl, who left behind not only his masterpiece, the Opera House but also such timeless works as the Castle Bazaar, St. Stephen’s Basilica and the Danubius Fountain on Erzsébet Square.
The concert was attended by an audience of engineers and architects, ...
Budapest Festival Orchestra, National Concert Hall Budapest, 25 March
- 25 Mar 2024 7:45 PM
- classical
One of two surviving Bach passions, the Saint Matthew Passion, which can be considered the zenith of Protestant church music, is often performed today as a purely musical piece, even though it really is an example of applied music at its best, or as Iván Fischer describes it, "a ritual with spiritual content.”
When it was first presented on Good Friday 1727, the work was paused between its ...
Saint Matthew Passion, Opera Budapest, 24 March
- 24 Jan 2024 7:00 PM
- classical
Oratorio in two parts, in German, with Hungarian, English, and German subtitles
The 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 ...

La Bohème Opera Performance, Opera Budapest, 21 December
- 21 Dec 2023 6:00 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 ...
Ballet Pécs: Carmina Burana, Opera House Budapest, 13 December
- 3 Dec 2023 7:00 PM
- classical
Carmina Burana is an unavoidable subject, a great task that is nevertheless a wonderful challenge in the career of a choreographer and one that sooner or later draws the creative artist to it. Orff's composition elevates the medieval student songs to a loftier region.
The majesty of the music inspires the choreographer to bear testimony to this self-destructive and mechanised world with an ...
