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 ...
Requiem, Opera House Budapest, 2 November
- 2 Nov 2025 7:00 PM
- classical
Staged oratorio in Latin, with Hungarian, English, and Latin subtitles
In recent years, even decades, it has become a common practice to completely or partially stage certain oratorical works. After Messiah and Matthäus-Passion, nothing could be more suitable to continue the practice than Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem, which is claimed by many, half-seriously, but certainly aptly, to be their ...
Giacomo Puccini, Schicchi 2.0, Opera House Budapest, 16 October
- 16 Oct 2025 2:00 PM
- classical
We can safely say that Gianni Schicchi is one of the most entertaining comic works of opera literature, which stands out even in the opera oeuvre of Giacomo Puccini with its wittiness.
Ingenious moments chase one another both in the vocal and orchestral parts, and also through the text and the incredibly funny situations.
Not many works dare to apply the black, nay morbid humour that ...
Mozart: Don Giovanni, National Concert Hall Budapest, 9 September
- 9 Sep 2025 7:00 PM
- classical
“You’ll never truly know me,” says the world-famous seducer, and indeed: Don Giovanni’s character has remained unfathomable and endlessly captivating for centuries. Should we sympathise with him? Or condemn him?
Perhaps both? He is a complex and fascinating figure, who, with Lorenzo Da Ponte’s libretto and Mozart’s music, presents an eternal and rewarding challenge for directors. This is not ...
Éva Duda Company: Frida, Eiffel Art Studios Budapest, 5 September
- 5 Sep 2025 3:47 PM
- contemporary
This spectacular performance explores the life and art of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, guiding the audience into an exotic dream world through music, film, and dance.
Like a unique guided tour, the dance scenes reveal the beauty and challenges of a woman’s fate, passionate love stories, vibrant culture, carnival spirit, and defining moments of Frida's life. Rather than a biography, it ...
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 ...
La Bayadère, Opera House Budapest, 25 June
- 25 Jun 2025 6:00 PM
- classical
Marius Petipa’s choreography takes the audience to legendary India to witness a love story between a temple dancer and a noble warrior. La Bayadère is an excellent example of the classical ballet tradition, but the new Hungarian National Balett production will prove to be a real treat.
The records of the original 1877 choreography are incomplete, the fourth act of the ballet is lost. Albert ...
Ponchielli: La Gioconda, Opera House Budapest, 5 June
- 5 Jun 2025 5:00 PM
- classical
Ponchielli's most famous opera whisks the audience back to the magical, but at the same time, dangerous Venetian Republic of the 17th century.
The piece's protagonist is a street singer named Gioconda. In spite of her name, which means “the jovial one”, her life takes a tragic turn owing to the intrigues of a diabolically evil figure who is hopelessly in love with her.
Ponchielli and ...
