Igazi különlegességgel készül a Müpa Valentin-napra: a Bartók Béla Nemzeti Hangversenyteremben eredeti zenéjével szólal meg Charlie Chaplin klasszikusa, a Nagyvárosi fények.

A Voices of the Future – A jövő hangjai Magyarország egyik legnagyobb, középiskolásokat megszólító kulturális programja, amelyben ötszáz diák vállalkozik arra, hogy hónapokon át együtt készüljön, majd a Müpa színpadán adja elő a zeneirodalom kiemelkedő alkotásait.

Every year since 2008, this festive gala of Hungarian folk and world music has filled Müpa Budapest to bursting. On this occasion, the evening will be framed by the Moldavian and Gyimes dance house music of Róbert Kerényi and the Szigony Band, while the still-youthful musicians of the Sarjú Band are also experienced dance house performers.

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.

An elegantly light repast that feels like it could be served in an aristocratic Viennese palace – under crystal chandeliers and accompanied by delicately tinkling cutlery and heavenly music.

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.

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.

Confinement and isolation, freedom and endlessness. FrenÁk’s emotionally charged choreographic structures use dynamic forms of movement to gain visibility and captivate the audience. The performance moves on the borderline between harsh reality and imaginary visions, where listening to our inner voices demands an unconscious balancing act on the edge of madness.

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.

Recirquel’s new production, Paradisum explores the myth of rebirth following the silence of a destroyed world, where the means of communication is the body, and the only common language is movement.

Jazzbois first burst onto the scene at the 2017 Müpa Budapest Jazz Showcase. By 2023, they were hosting Kaláka as guests at the Festival Theatre, and, a couple of years later, they were conquering major international festivals: the Leverkusener Jazztage, the Montreux Jazz Festival, Jazz à Vienne, and the Montreal Jazz Festival, to name but a few. Jamie Cullum also dedicated an entire BBC radio show to the band, including a conversation with Viktor Sági.

The guest appearance of the world-famous American maestro Lawrence Foster, who represents the senior age group of the international community of composers, promises to be among the outstanding events of the season. The musician with Romanian parents has conducted the Hungarian National Philharmonic on several occasions and each visit has attracted an enthusiastic response.

Beethoven: Missa Solemnis

Two vastly different yet mutually enriching musical universes meet on the Müpa stage this evening: Söndörgő, one of Hungary’s most exciting representatives of Balkan and South Slavic musical traditions, and the world-renowned Balanescu Quartet, which masterfully combines contemporary classical music with boundary-defying creative improvisation.

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.

It has been 30 years since Mónika Lakatos first emerged on the Hungarian and international music scenes and started building bridges between cultures through her art: an emblem and authentic representative of the Gypsy musical tradition, she has also become an integral part of the Hungarian music world as a whole.

After recording operas by Rameau and his contemporaries, György Vashegyi now conducts Armide, the masterpiece by Louis XIV’s court composer, Jean-Baptiste Lully. Lully’s final lyric tragedy premiered in 1686 and was performed at the Paris Opera until 1766, when it was overshadowed by Gluck’s version of the story based on the same libretto.

How does the forest make music? What is the rhythm of the seasons? In this musical puppet show, the artists of the Liszt Ferenc Chamber Orchestra and the Bábozd Zöldre Company playfully present an encounter between nature and classical music.
