Mupa Film Club: Richard Lester: Help, Palace of Arts Budapest, 22 September
- 22 Sep 2025 7:00 PM
- contemporary
“Rock n’ Roll? It will be gone by June,” wrote Variety Magazine in 1955. That didn’t age well. It happens. In 1962, a record company from Hamburg made little fuss of parting company with a new band that would be playing in front of rabid crowds in Great Britain just a year later.
It had something to do with beetles... By 1964, the film A Hard Day’s Night with its four strange mushroom-headed ...
'The World of Rogues', National Dance Theatre Budapest, 14 September
- 14 Sep 2025 7:00 PM
- contemporary
Rogues and highwaymen are typical characters of Hungarian folk traditions. Folk songs, folk tales and ballads preserve the memories of our most famous highwaymen and they feature as a popular topic in folk art. They are often idealised as heroes in folk memory.
This is how “Hungarian Robin Hoods”, our legendary rogues were born: Jóska Sóbri, Imre Bogár, Márton Vidróczky, Bandi Angyal 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
