Search: MÜPA

Artistic collaborations between Müpa Budapest and the Munich Radio Orchestra have already delighted audiences with two Verdi rarities: I due Foscari in 2018 and another early Verdi opera, I Lombardi, which was performed in 2023 by an outstanding international cast of singers. On this occasion, chief conductor Ivan Repušić has chosen another gem, Simon Boccanegra.

It is not exclusively Hungarians that Müpa Budapest honours with the prestigious title of Artist of the Season: foreign musicians, such as the Russian piano virtuoso Denis Matsuev, for instance, have also been distinguished in this way. The prerequisites are obvious: a high level of professional excellence and a fruitful relationship with Müpa Budapest.

Zenés játék Stravinsky The Rake’s Progress című műve nyomán. A darab főhőse, Tom átlagos fiatalember, akit egy pillanat alatt rabul ejt a könnyű gazdagság és hírnév ördögi ígérete. A fausti egyezség során a sátáni Nick mesteri módon manipulálja a fiút, aki otthagyja szerelmét és követi Nicket a teljesítmény és befektetett munka nélkül kínált siker álomvilágába. Az út azonban a kárhozatba vezet. A zene parodisztikus jellege és a rendezés komikus elemekben bővelkedő formanyelve a fiatalok számára is könnyen befogadhatóvá teszi ezt a produkciót, hiszen a darab több olyan problémára tapint rá, ami digitalizált, közösségi média által uralt világunkban különösen a fiatal generációt érinti.

Why is the 400-year-old story of Romeo and Juliette, the world’s best known romantic tragedy, still so relevant today? Because love is eternal, the rebelliousness of youth persists, and the world is still filled with inexplicable contraditions.

Twenty-five years ago, four highly skilled French musicians decided to take the freedom of jazz and the pulsating sound of funk, and shape them into an entirely new concept by exploiting the possibilities offered by electronica. The experiment proved successful, and Electro Deluxe was born in Paris. Later, courtesy of American singer James Copley, the band discovered new vistas to explore.

Three stories taking place over the course of a single night in Memphis, seen from three different points of view.
