Mozart's Così Fan Tutte, Eiffel Art Studios Budapest, 7 June
- 7 Jun 2026 5:29 PM
- classical
Così fan tutte is a bewildering piece. With endlessly beautiful music and a comedic guise, Mozart paints the most exquisite yet most embarrassing moments of human emotions and relationships.
Have I really fallen in love with my sister’s fiancé? Have I truly stolen my friend’s bride? How is this possible? Is it even possible? Will they forgive me? Can I forgive them? And what happens next? ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Stephen the King, Opera House Budapest, 9 January
- 9 Jan 2026 7:00 PM
- classical
By far the most successful of the Hungarian crop of rock operas, ever since its original album release Stephen, the King has had not only symphonic features but has also been pervaded by the vocal, closed number structure characteristic of traditional operas, the presence of large tableaus, and instrumentation that gives the rock music universal perspectives.
The poems for Levente Szörényi, ...
Verdi's Un Ballo in Maschera, Opera House Budapest, 13 August
- 13 Aug 2025 7:00 PM
- classical
The subject of this work sparked Verdi's fiercest battle with the censor of Naples and, later on, of Rome. The original libretto treated an actual historical event: the 1792 regicide of a Swedish king.
However, this proved too delicate a matter given the political situation of the day, and so in order to curry favour with the censor, the king was converted into an earl and the plot ...
Donizetti's Maria Stuarda, Opera House Budapest, 31 May
- 28 May 2025 3:44 PM
- classical
Many of Bergamo-born Gaetano Donizetti's operas have already been staged in Budapest, such as recent productions of La fille du régiment, Lucia di Lammermoor, Il campanello, or the frequently performed comic opera Don Pasquale.
However, his great operas of historical dramas have so far been neglected, with the exception of Anna Bolena, which has not been performed in decades, either. It is ...
Giuseppe Verdi: Don Carlo, Opera House Budapest, 25 May
- 25 May 2025 6:00 PM
- classical
Verdi took Schiller’s drama, a work whose nearly every line is permeated with social and political ideas, and poured it into music in a way that emphasises individual emotions and spiritual vibrations.
Hilbrich, a director who has long been recognised across the German-speaking world, earned his international reputation chiefly with Wagnerian productions, as well as with contemporary operas.

For the 12th time, the performance of the famous Symphony No. 9 will dominate the OPERA’s New Year celebrations. Back in the day, its Hungarian premiere was directed by the same Ferenc Erkel who was also the OPERA’s first music director.
Every year, a different brilliant composer is selected to direct the masterpiece, and there is nobody at the OPERA who is better acquainted with this work ...
