Born 125 years ago, László Németh rightly deserves a place on any list of the most significant authors of 20th-century Hungarian literature. This programme aims not only to commemorate the writer’s diverse oeuvre, but also to encourage the audience to reread and rediscover it by recalling passages, both familiar and lesser-known, selected from different eras of his career.

In 2026, Müpa Budapest will be spotlighting Hungarian jazz talent through the Jazz Showcase for the nineteenth year running.

What does a sluggish, honey-loving bear do with a cheeky, curious cat? This fairy tale reveals how squabbling turns into friendship, gluttony into a life lesson, and clumsiness into courage.

Tárkány-Kovács Bálint verseit elsősorban a Tárkány Művek lemezeiről ismerhette meg a közönség, ám ezek csupán három évtizednyi költészetének töredékét mutatják föl.

Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, Söndörgő is Müpa Budapest’s Ensemble of the Season, which means it will be giving several concerts that break with tradition in the course of the 2025-26 season.

Three stories taking place over the course of a single night in Memphis, seen from three different points of view. Jim Jarmusch has come up with an incredibly exciting storytelling technique for this film. (He has often chosen unusual narrative forms in his later works.) Furthermore, he only reveals it in the second part of the triptych.

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.

A Kossuth-díjas Vujicsics együttes alapítótagja, a hetvenéves Borbély Mihály pályafutása során mindig azon dolgozott, hogy bemutassa a hangfolyamok útját azok forrása és deltavidéke között.

Although he caused a scandal in the early ’70s with two of his animated films (Fritz the Cat and Heavy Traffic), which verge on adults-only fare, Ralph Bakshi remains an unfamiliar name to most people.

Like Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese is passionately in love with New York City. There is no doubt, however, that Scorsese sees a different city. His is dirtier, edgier, and slightly more full of crime and criminals. Scorsese’s home turf is Little Italy, in Lower Manhattan. On the other hand, New York, New York clearly shows that the two are both jazz fans.

Together with her internationally successful early music ensemble, L’Arpeggiata, harpist and theorbo-player Christina Pluhar are renowned for fashioning each and every concert programme out of a unique project. For this occasion, they have chosen one of the greatest masterpieces from the Baroque opera literature:

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.

The MET’s contemporary highlight of the 2025-2026 season centres on, arguably, art history’s most famous painter couple, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.

A band committed to modernising Indian classical music, Araj consists of five young musicians considered in their homeland to be the outstanding performers of their generation. Formed by tabla player Ishaan Ghosh, all members are virtuosos of their instruments (tabla, sitar, bamboo flute, sarangi) and vocal techniques, and their interplay breathes new life into the Indian classical tradition.

What music accompanied the life of the Swedish royal court during the reign of Charles XI in the 17th century? Ensemble Correspondances, one of France’s most renowned early music formations, brings the rarely heard treasures of Scandinavian Baroque to Budapest for the first time.

Az épületekhez hasonlóan a zeneművek is apró alkotóelemekből állnak – hangokból, hangszínekből, szabályokból és azok játékos megszegéséből. A Hangvár sorozat az építőkövekre fókuszál, amelyekből ezúttal népzenei formákat rakunk össze.

Vincenzo Bellini’s final opera is a veritable apotheosis of bel canto that should only be presented to an audience with performers displaying impeccable technique and stylistic sensibilities.

“Mihály Csokonai Vitéz’s most famous portrait shows a man in a Hungarian fur-lined mantle gazing at us with large, open eyes. Whoever etched this image into copper never set eyes on the poet, " writes László Bertók.

The Clair-Obscur project is the coming together of two storied ensembles, and a unique interplay between two musical traditions.

A Blahalouisiana billentyűse, a Black Circle Orchestrából is ismert Pénzes Máté 2023-ban jelentette meg első szólólemezét, amelyen minden dalban más-más zenész barát és példakép tűnt fel Tátrai Tibortól Solti Jánosig. Ugyanebben az évben megalakította a Pénzes Máté és a Zseb nevű formációt, amely az akkor 50 éves, legendás LGT-album, az 1973-ban megjelent Bummm! előtt tisztelgett a teljes anyag feldolgozásával.
