Richard Wagner: Parsifal, Hungarian State Opera Budapest, 31 March
- 31 Mar 2024 4:00 PM
- classical
In Parsifal, his final music drama, Wagner embeds fear of the temptations of the world and sinful desires into a tale of redemption. The work is indeed a festival play for the stage rather than an opera.
Many viewers – perhaps out of their own fears – criticised Wagner, who wrote both the libretto and the music, for what could be called the piece’s virtue and remarkable complexity, which is ...
Budapest Festival Orchestra, National Concert Hall Budapest, 25 March
- 25 Mar 2024 7:45 PM
- classical
One of two surviving Bach passions, the Saint Matthew Passion, which can be considered the zenith of Protestant church music, is often performed today as a purely musical piece, even though it really is an example of applied music at its best, or as Iván Fischer describes it, "a ritual with spiritual content.”
When it was first presented on Good Friday 1727, the work was paused between its ...
'The Rhinegold', Palace of Arts Budapest, 15 June
- 15 Jun 2023 6:00 PM
- classical
Das Rheingold is the introduction to the storyline, depicting the central conflict. Starting from a primeval state of peace, the opera shows how the original sin was committed, triggering a chain of events that eventually lead to complete annihilation.
Over and over again, one is haunted by the suspicion that the myth is not about gods, giants and dwarfs, but about ourselves: it is not so ...
Bohemian Betyars, A38 Ship Budapest, 25 February
- 25 Feb 2023 8:20 PM
- contemporary
Eating, drinking, laughing, loving and crying. Since its operation in 2009, Bohemian Betyars has stolen into the hearts of a sizeable audience not only in the country, but worldwide with its speed-folk-freak-punk, captivating and energetic formation.
The direct, instinctive, life-affirming atmosphere of their concerts liberates the emotions of the audience, penetrates the human gut, and makes ...
World Music with Nesrine, Festival Theatre Budapest, 14 December
- 14 Dec 2022 4:18 PM
- contemporary
The Franco-Algerian cellist and singer/songwriter Nesrine Belmokh first emerged in 2018 together with her trio, NES, and an impactful record crossing North African music with vocal jazz.
She released her second album in 2020 as a soloist marked by her distinctive sound, with her cello playing merging North African traditions and finely textured jazz. Songs of sheer beauty unite and bring the ...
'Little Night of Horrors', Palace of Arts Budapest, 10 October
- 31 Oct 2022 8:00 PM
- contemporary
This Halloween concert is the result of a new initiative of the Budafok Dohnanyi Orchestra that they believe will prove to be a creative and joyful one for many people. Instead of attempting to evoke the commercialized American folk festival, it harkens back to the ancient Celtic tradition, lining up music that ranges from terrifying to cathartic to playful.
"Basically, we have a very strange, ...
Iván Fischer and the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Palace of Arts Budapest, 20 September
- 19 Sep 2021 7:30 PM
- classical
Audience will have a special evening to look forward to. There is no need to introduce the 70-year-old Iván Fischer to the Budapest audience.
Nevertheless, this concert will be an introduction in a certain sense, since it has always been at the helm of the Budapest Festival Orchestra that we've seen him perform ever since the ensemble made its debut on Christmas Day in 1983.
At this event ...
Song Recital by Michael Volle, Palace of Arts Budapest, 14 June
- 14 Jun 2021 7:30 PM
- classical
In recent years, the Budapest Wagner Days festival has been enriched with new colours: in addition to works for the stage, it now also features a song recital performed, naturally, by a singer whose career and work are connected to the Wagnerian repertoire and who will be bringing a programme that is similarly well suited to the oeuvre of the great German composer of works for the musical stage. ...
