Kurtág 100 Festival, Palace of Arts Budapest, 18 February
- 18 Feb 2026 1:00 PM
- classical
Silver Bear-winning filmmaker Dénes Nagy spent four years following György Kurtág’s everyday life with his camera. The resulting documentary, produced between 2021 and 2025, far exceeds the conventional boundaries of the genre.

- 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 ...

- 31 Oct 2025 7:00 PM

Each evening of the anniversary concert series, MAO XX, is closely connected to the work of the past two decades, yet brings something entirely new: every concert is a premiere, further enriching the unique and diverse repertoire established during the MAO's first twenty years.
