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 ...
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 ...

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 ...
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 ...

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 ...
Irie Maffia, Műegyetem Rakpart Budapest, 19 August
- 19 Aug 2025 6:45 PM
- contemporary
What makes the Irie Maffia special is their musical diversity, with many radio hits behind them, they can give a great concert in any environment, regardless of the age of the audience.
The Irie Maffia supergroup is made up of some of Hungary's most colourful personalities. Among the frontmen we find the Ghanaian-born Sena, who impersonated Mary in the performance for the Pope's visit, but ...
