Season Ticket ‘Lehel’

Wagner Parsifal – festive musical stage play in three acts (German-language performance, with Hungarian surtitles)

Szüts Apor – zongora Budafoki Dohnányi Zenekar Vezényel: Hollerung Gábor

The Oscar-winning composer Tan Dun’s landmark opera blends Eastern philosophy with the language of Western music. This is the first time the work will be heard in Hungary, and it will be conducted by the composer himself. Set in the 7th century, it tells the story of the passionate love of a Japanese prince and a Chinese princess, and of their fateful quest for the legendary The Classic of Tea by Lu Yu.

One of the organ’s most promising young stars and the winner of last year’s St Albans International Organ Competition, the Jena-born Alexis Grizard steps up as the soloist for this concert promising two monumental compositions. Ferenc Liszt’s most extensive organ work is often referred to as “The Organ Sonata in B minor”.

The globally beloved Portuguese genre of fado is already familiar to the Müpa audience, and now one of its greatest contemporary stars is visiting Budapest for the first time. Nominated for a Latin Grammy, Carminho is a true heir to her mother, Teresa Siqueira, and was celebrated as the genre’s great hope in 2005, even before she reached the age of 20.

It has been a long time since we thought of Cécile McLorin Salvant as merely the promising winner of the 2010 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition. Her expressive voice capable of conveying profound emotions and refined sentiments, her virtuoso improvisation, and her brave, experimental combinations of styles have now come to represent a point of reference to a new generation.

Although the concept behind the productions has always been a mature one, over the years the Ring has been rejuvenated within the framework of a constant idea and reborn in the details. Another permanent feature is the conducting method - one combining humanism with perfectionism - of music director Ádám Fischer.

Works by Bach, Vivaldi, Daquin, Mozart, Vierne and Antalffy-Zsiross

There can hardly be imagined in our time a work that conveys a more important message to humanity, as it debates the possible fate of the earth, about threats to the natural environment than Götterdämmerung does. Perhaps there is still time for us to return the ring to the Rhinemaidens.

This programme is like a lavishly laid festive table set in the heart of Krakow: behind the dishes lie deep emotions, rich tradition and special musical seasonings. It kicks off with Stanisław Moniuszko’s fabulous fantasy overture, which combines a pinch of romance and a helping of fairy dust with lots of dramatic magic.

Lírai dalszövegeivel, szüntelen kísérletezőkedvével és Bocskor Bíborka azonnal felismerhető, érzékeny előadásmódjával a Magashegyi Underground immár két évtizede a hazai alternatív pop egyik legeredetibb formációjának számít.

Mozart’s Kyrie in D minor is a rarity, as is the incidental music to Thamos, King in Egypt, from which the Hungarian National Philharmonic will perform the instrumental suite on the fourth evening of its Kocsis season ticket.

FOLK. CULTURE. FINALE.

Mi lenne, ha a színész kinyitná a műhely ajtaját, ahol versek előadásán dolgozik? Meghívna minket oda, ahol mesterségének szerszámai -emlékek, hangok, gondolatok- kézzel foghatók? Mi lenne, ha megtudnánk, miért mond el egy szöveget? És miért úgy mondja? Arany, Petőfi, Ady, Babits, Kosztolányi, Karinthy, Dsida, József Attila, Radnóti, Villon-Faludy , Nemes- Nagy, Pilinszky, Orbán Ottó, Petri, Parti-Nagy, Kemény István versei, Mácsai szemével és előadásában.

ALLIANCE. GIFT. YOUTH.

Approx until: 9.30 pm

The 1924 silent film by Buster Keaton, the deadpan burlesque master of the stony face who always took extraordinary risks both as an actor and a director, will be screened before the Müpa audience on this occasion with improvised organ accompaniment.

Kálmán Imre világhírű operettje, a Csárdáskirálynő egy szenvedélyes, humorral és fülbemászó dallamokkal átszőtt szerelmi történet, ahol a rang és a szív harcba száll egymással.

The dice and the stopwatch will be coming out again at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall as it hosts another round of musical ‘battle’. When we talk about instrumental duels in the Hungarian capital these days, it is no longer necessarily Bach and Marchand, or even Liszt and Thalberg, that we are thinking of, because we have our own riveting concert series right here at Müpa Budapest.
