'New Hungarian Rhapsody & Hungarian Mass' Concert, Margaret Island Open-Air, 20 August
After its world premiere on Margaret Island Open-Air Stage thirty years ago, the Tolcsvay brothers’ work “Hungarian Mass” will resound again among the island’s trees.

Beside this musical curiosity, which has become popular throughout Europe, we are preparing another large-scale world premiere to celebrate the national holiday: László Tolcsvay’s “New Hungarian Rhapsody” on 20th of August.

Musically, “Hungarian Mass” is exceptionally multi-layered, an oratorio that blends symphonic and folk music. This performance will feature the greats from every genre of our nation’s music scene. The work, with its unique material and uncommon realisation, has reaped success abroad as well.

The music of “New Hungarian Rhapsody” resonates with today’s rapidly changing world and Hungary within it. Meandering and multifarious – at times pensive and melancholic, at times passionate or heroic – the work reflects an abruptly shifting emotional world.

Date and time: 
20 August, 8 pm 

Tickets: 
HUF 2,000

Venue: 
Margaret Island Open-Air Theatre
1138 Budapest, Zielinski Szilárd stny.

    On March 15, 1848 - as part of the European revolutionary wave - a revolution broke out in Pest-Buda, and it triumphed without bloodshed with the slogans of national sovereignty and civil transformation ("equality, freedom, brotherhood"). Modern parliamentary Hungary was born, and the process leading to the War of Independence began, aiming to abolish Habsburg rule and achieve independence and constitutional establishment.

    The Hungarian Revolution of 1848 was one of many of the European Revolutions that year, and was closely linked to other 1848 revolutions in the Habsburg areas. The revolution in the Kingdom of Hungary grew into a war for independence from the Austrian Empire, ruled by the Habsburg monarchy.
