Music, Theatre Budapest (Budapest)

Hungarian classical and folk music is world-renowned. The names and works of Béla Bartók, Zoltán Kodály and Ferenc Liszt have won Hungarian culture a considerable reputation. The concert halls of the capital attract not only the best Hungarian artists, but also the greatest performers from every corner of the world. Each year the Budapest Spring Festival and its counterpart the Budapest Autumn Festival host the very best of Hungarian and international music, theatre, film and fine arts.

MUSIC, THEATRES, events in Budapest

High standard opera and ballet performances of the Hungarian State Opera House and the Erkel Theatre consistently play to full houses, and the audience can experience classical works of music in their original tongue.The most famous Hungarian opera, Ferenc Erkel’s Bánk bán, and Béla Bartók’s beautiful ballet The Miraculous Mandarin feature on programmes virtually all year round.

Aside from the successful operettas of Imre Kálmán, Pál Ábrahám and Ferenc Lehár (Countess Marica, Csárdás Queen, Land of Smiles) playing in the renewed Budapest Operetta Theatre, the programme is also spiced with popular musicals (Funny Girl, Sound of Music). The world famous musical Phantom of the Opera can be seen in the Madách Theatre all year round. Several other theatres also feature Hungarian and foreign musicals on their repertoires. The Merlin Theatre and IBS International Buda Stage most frequently perform works in English or in other languages featuring Hungarian and foreign artists.

Globetrotting Hungarian folklore ensembles (State Folk Ensemble, Duna Artists Ensemble, Rajkó Ensemble etc.) regularly take to the stage of the Buda Vigadó and Duna Palace. The five-language monthly programme guide Budapest Panorama with detailed information on all the capital’s cultural events and leisure opportunities is well worth scanning if you have just arrived in Budapest.

Budapest, Renáta

Budapest looks its most beautiful at dawn. As the sun slowly rises over the eastern plains, bathing Pest in soft pastel hues, it radiates back from the buildings of Buda as if they were a giant mirror; the windows on Castle Hill positively glisten in golden jubilation. more »
