Werther, Online Stream From Opera House Budapest, 10 April
- 10 Apr 2021 8:00 PM
- classical
Lyric drama in three parts, four acts in French, with Hungarian and English surtitles.
Goethe dashed out The Sorrows of Young Werther in all of six weeks.

Yoann Bourgeois: He Who Falls, Trafó Budapest, 9 April
- 9 Apr 2021 8:00 PM
- contemporary
This thrilling circus-influenced physical theatre piece features six performers on a dramatic tilting stage, appearing to defy the laws of gravity. When the imposing, suspended podium begins to spin, pivot, swing and elevate, the only way to withstand its forces is through agile movement. Faced by such instability, bodies lean, climb, hang and fall in this perilous dance of survival.

Cancelled: 'Christian Cantatas', Palace Of Arts, 2 April
- 2 Apr 2021 7:00 PM
- classical
The Christian Cantatas is a production that brings together three cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach (BWV 4, 82 and 56). Originally, they were not written for the same period of the liturgical year, and their particular theological content is different.
On this occasion, however, their shared aspects will be highlighted, thanks to a dramatic and staging concept. The works will be performed ...
Requiem, Palace Of Arts Budapest, 12 March
- 12 Mar 2021 7:30 PM
- classical
Although in the last 30 years it was quite unusual for a symphony orchestra to start a concert with works by Bach, 20 years earlier this would not have been surprising at all. With the spread of the historically informed performance movement, modern orchestras 'withdrew' from the Baroque repertoire. Today, however, they are reclaiming this area.
The second half of the Hungarian National ...
