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.

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 ...
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.

All these issues can be solved at once by the Hungarian State Opera’s ...

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 ...
Morgan James & the Budapest Jazz Orchestra, National Concert Hall Budapest, 31 August
- 31 Aug 2025 8:00 PM
- contemporary
Jazz, opera, Broadway musicals: Morgan James is at home in all three. Her amazing voice, enthralling personality and striking on-stage presence were enough to convince Scott Bradlee to invite her to appear in Postmodern Jukebox videos and tour with the band from 2014.
She dedicated her first album, recorded in New York’s Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, to Nina Simone. In 2016, she covered the entire ...
Wagner: Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, National Concert Hall Budapest, 26 June
- 26 Jun 2025 4:00 PM
- classical
It was between composing the first and second parts of the Ring cycle and after completing Tristan und Isolde that Wagner wrote his sole comic opera.
With its medieval setting, of course, this work goes far beyond a typical comic opera: it conveys a philosophy of life married to the composer’s own aesthetic principles. This hugely successful Budapest Wagner Days production is being staged ...
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 ...
Stars Recitals with Piano: Georg Zeppenfeld, Eiffel Art Studios Budapest, 12 May
- 12 May 2025 7:00 PM
- classical
German bass Georg Zeppenfeld originally trained as a music and German teacher, and only then began his singing studies.
According to his own admission, it was not easy for him or his voice teacher, because the Westphalian dialect is not necessarily suitable for opera singing. However, their joint work proved successful, and Zeppenfeld now performs the most important roles.
Beside German ...
