Pas de Trois '17

We brought this panorama of Hungarian dance ensembles to life in 2013 with the name Pas de trois ‘13. Under the aegis of this original initiative, the Ballet Company of Győr and Ballet Pécs made guest appearances in the home of the Opera’s ballet ensemble. Then, in 2014, the Szeged Contemporary Dance Company also joined the event, with the programme appropriately renamed Pas de quatre ‘14. This year we have Pas de trois again in which the country’s three greatest ballet companies can all be seen on one night.

Composer: Béla Bartók
Set designer: Éva Szendrényi
Costume designer: Anikó Németh (Manier)

Featuring an audio recording by the Hungarian National Philharmonic, conducted by Kossuth Award-winning artist Zoltán Kocsis. The recording for the performance was made at the MÜPA Studio and was produced by Müpa Budapest Nonprofit Kft.
