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, ...
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. 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 ...
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 ...
Carl Off: Carmina Burana, Opera House Budapest, 6 April
- 6 Apr 2025 7:00 PM
- classical
O Fortuna. Everyone knows the overwhelmingly powerful opening motifs of Carl Orff's most famous work. What fewer people know is that Carmina Burana was not intended to be an oratorical work, but was instead expressly meant for the stage.
This becomes clear from the piece's (originally Latin) subtitle: “Secular songs for singers and chorus to be sung together with instruments and magical ...
An evening of Beethoven, National Concert Hall Budapest, 26 November
- 26 Nov 2024 7:30 PM
- classical
Taking the stage at Müpa Budapest on this evening will be the creative spirit Philippe Herreweghe joined by the world-famous workshops he founded: the Collegium Vocale Gent and the Orchestre des Champs-Elysées. As is well known, his repertoire is not limited strictly to early music: he conducts anything that captures his interest, from Monteverdi and Gesualdo to Stravinsky, and Dvořák.
This ...
Live Broadcast - Offenbach: Les contes d'Hoffmann, Palace of Arts Budapest, 6 October
- 6 Oct 2024 6:00 PM
- classical
The subject matter is far from the only thing that promises to make this performance of Offenbach’s last work for the stage so fantastic, as we will get to hear some wonderful singers when Bartlett Sher’s captivating 2009 production of Tales of Hoffmann returns to the Met’s series of HD transmissions. The title role of the poet escaping into alcohol goes to today’s top French tenor, Benjamin ...
