Blessed with a ‘golden voice’, Jonathan Tetelman’s meteoric career has taken him to the world’s leading opera houses, while his records have picked up a succession of awards. We heard him alongside Elīna Garanča in 2021 at Müpa Budapest, and he has since become one of the most sought-after singers of Puccini.

The Daveform Quintet, who are well-versed in the genre of modern jazz, have captured the attention of their peers with their unique sound and ecstatic music, which unites musical landscapes and styles. The group was founded after an encounter between some exceptional performers and composers who – through their individual achievements – have already demonstrated their ability on the international stage.
“When I first started putting this show together, I thought I would call it ‘Just Me’. This working title reflected both the self-confidence and fear I was feeling after the tremendous losses I had experienced over the previous year. Now alone, I had to move forward and find out whether anyone else was curious to see what I could achieve by myself.

This event featuring the work of one of the most popular poets, translators and linguists of contemporary Hungarian literature promises the audience a truly unique experience.
Giselle is the genre-defining ballet of the 19th century romantic period. Its popularity remains unbroken to this day and the title role is every ballerina's dream.
Just like buildings, pieces of music are constructed from small component parts. From sounds, and from tones, obeying the universal laws of music – and sometimes breaking them. But how are the building blocks of music assembled? In what way do individual instruments and solo parts support and complement each other?
The final Met broadcast of the 2024/25 season revisits Bartlett Sher's sparklingly alive Rossini production, this time conducted by Giacomo Sagripanti, who trained in the composer's native Pesaro.

The concert Songs Of Hope, inspired by Iranian culture, is a cry for faith in the future and the longing for freedom.
Dalinda are Fanni Nádasdy, Julianna Paár and Sára Tímár, a trio of female a cappella singers who are dedicated artists of the Hungarian folk music scene in a variety of solo and group projects, and who together perform the music of the Carpathian Basin in an inimitable style.
As a pioneer of Hungarian new-wave hip-hop, Kolos Halász, aka Co Lee, became familiar to an increasingly wider audience throughout 2022 and 2023. In 2024, Halász not only proved himself on the main stages of festivals, he also organised one of his very own: the Cirque de Margaret, which found a common path between circus and music, and was packed with breathtaking acrobatic displays.
The Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel is one of the greatest opera singers of our time. Having given us several chances to hear him at Müpa Budapest before, this time he is coming as a guest of the Budapest Wagner Days festival purely to evoke extraordinary moments from the great German composer’s operas.
If we were to try and name notable Hungarian literary pairings of the 20th century, then Domokos Szilágyi and Gizella Hervay are certainly worthy of mention alongside Miklós Mészöly and Alaine Polcz, despite the short-lived nature of their life together.
A házibulik legjobb helyszínéről elnevezett tizenöt éves Konyha fokozatosan vált mára tömegeket megszólító zenekarrá. Ez az este kiszakadás lesz a folyamatos pörgésből: intim, történetmesélős koncert, visszatérés ahhoz a bizonyos konyhaasztalhoz, ahol minden elkezdődött.
A két éve működő Mehringer gyorsan utat tört magának a feltörekvő zenekarok között. Több neves produkció vendégeként jutott el hatalmas közönség elé, ahol bizonyítani is tudott, ezt támasztja alá egyre nagyobb népszerűsége. Szókimondó szövegek, energikus dalok, egyre nagyobb jelentőségű közreműködések jellemzik a kvartett eddigi útját.
Ten LPs and over ten million albums sold – Morcheeba was founded 30 years ago and is still one of the leading bands in triphop (and remains active, unlike many others).
Jazz, opera, Broadway musicals: Morgan James is at home in all three. Her amazing voice, enthralling personality and striking on-stage presence were enough to convince Scott Bradlee to invite her to appear in Postmodern Jukebox videos and tour with the band from 2014.
Milos Forman’s film was a huge success in its day. Even without the eight Oscars. If artistic achievement were measured in awards alone, we’d be in trouble.
Don Juan is immortal. The story of the “Seducer from Seville” set off on its journey to conquer the world some time in the 14th century. It was turned into a drama four centuries ago by Tirso de Molina and has since been adapted by dozens of notable authors from Molière to Pushkin, but it was as Don Giovanni that he became the irrepressible playboy we know today – thanks to the Mozart opera.
One evening – two dance productions by the Szeged Contemporary Dance Company.
Born through word of mouth, his character was first committed to parchment by a Catholic priest but was never set in stone, and so he became the archetype of the seducer that conquered western culture. This eternally youthful figure is a quintessential feature of Spanish Baroque, French Classicism, German Romanticism, English irony and the dramatic landscape of the 20th century.
Carlos Saura is not strictly an ‘opera director’, but he did direct Carmen in 1983. In a flamenco style. That’s only right, Saura knows everything there is to know about flamenco. (He is also a natural when it comes to tango.)
What would Don Juan do if he lived among us today? Would he charm us once again and wrap us around his little finger, or would his magic fail him, leaving even the Stone Guest untouched.
“Rock n’ Roll? It will be gone by June,” wrote Variety Magazine in 1955. That didn’t age well. It happens.
Rembetiko is often referred to as the “Greek blues”. This traditional music with foundations in Asia minor and incorporating elements of Greek folklore, nonetheless, has deep roots in urban culture.
When we think about words being used to create art, that can mean two things: literature and song lyrics.
Adventure-filled dance drama inspired by István Fekete's novel The Testament of Aga Koppanyi
In Ervin Lázár's magical and witty tale, all the residents of the forest listen to the great teller of tall tales with open mouths: the mouse.
The world-class London Symphony Orchestra always comes to Müpa Budapest accompanied by one of the great conductors – and it never fails to dazzle the audience.
The Senegalese griot singer-songwriter Ablaye Cissoko was born into one of the largest West African kora-playing dynasties, and researched his family’s musical traditions in the 2011 documentary film Griot, which explored the ways of telling stories and passing them on from father to son through music.
