"I want a cat. I want a cat now. If I can’t have long hair or any fun, I can have a cat.” (Ernest Hemingway)

The cat, which has several lives, seven, or sometimes nine, has often inspired great artists like ...

Haydn & Hungary Tableau Exhibition, Palace of Arts
- 6 Sep 2021 4:21 PM
- classical
Walking down Buda's Alkotás ('Creation') Street, one can savour the pleasant thought that after the Viennese world première of Joseph Haydn's oratorio The Creation, it was here in Pest-Buda where the work was played next - with the composer himself conducting.
One of the most beautiful chapters in the memory of Hungarian music history is the one about Haydn being considered, at least in part, ...

Lyric drama in three parts, four acts in French, with Hungarian and English surtitles.
Goethe dashed out The Sorrows of Young Werther in all of six weeks. The novel, which relates, through a series of letters, the hopeless love of a young poet who chooses death to escape his torments, became an immediate best seller, at a stroke both catapulting its author to fame and launching the ...
'Dialogues Of The Carmelites', Opera Budapest, 3 April
- 3 Apr 2021 8:00 PM
- classical
Serving as the basis for French composer Francis Poulenc's opera was the true story of the martyrs of Compiègne: during the French Revolution, the terreur and the Jacobin dictatorship's antagonism toward the Church resulted in the execution of sixteen Carmelite nuns in Paris on 17 July 1794.
Their hair shorn and singing the Veni Creator Spiritus, the sisters each took their places under the ...
Requiem, Palace Of Arts Budapest, 12 March
- 12 Mar 2021 7:30 PM
- classical
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.
The second half of the Hungarian National ...
