- 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.

Verdi's Un Ballo in Maschera, Opera House Budapest, 13 August
- 13 Aug 2025 7:00 PM
- classical
The subject of this work sparked Verdi's fiercest battle with the censor of Naples and, later on, of Rome. The original libretto treated an actual historical event: the 1792 regicide of a Swedish king.
However, this proved too delicate a matter given the political situation of the day, and so in order to curry favour with the censor, the king was converted into an earl and the plot ...

- 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.

- 6 Apr 2025 7:00 PM
- classical

This becomes clear from the piece's (originally Latin) subtitle: “Secular songs for singers and chorus to be sung together with instruments and magical ...

La traviata– The fallen woman.
The truly sensational theme swept through the art of the 19th century, making a stunningly beautiful Parisian courtesan named ...
