Written by Mark Phelan, a dearly departed member of the expat community, The Platform is a funny, yet astute play about human behaviour.

Song recital in two parts, with Hungarian, English, and German subtitles
This format was made necessary by life. By size, the Ybl Palace is one of the medium-sized opera houses, but in terms of beauty it is first class, which we further enhance by lighting it gorgeously.
On its podium, or the top of its orchestra pit, the soloist can stand almost fully surrounded by the audience, and ...

Cancelled: 'Christian Cantatas', Palace Of Arts, 2 April

- classical
The Christian Cantatas is a production that brings together three cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach (BWV 4, 82 and 56). Originally, they were not written for the same period of the liturgical year, and their particular theological content is different.
On this occasion, however, their shared aspects will be highlighted, thanks to a dramatic and staging concept. The works will be performed ...

Although in the last 30 years it was quite unusual for a symphony orchestra to start a concert with works by Bach, 20 years earlier this would not have been surprising at all. With the spread of the historically informed performance movement, modern orchestras 'withdrew' from the Baroque repertoire. Today, however, they are reclaiming this area.
