Pongrác Kacsóh
JOHN THE VALIANT
Singspiel in three parts, in Hungarian, with Hungarian and English subtitles

Six composers, six pieces, sixty-six years, but nothing diabolical. In fact, several aspects of the season’s only performance to be hosted at the BMC will direct the audience’s gaze skywards towards the heavens. We may rightfully label the evening a contemporary concert, although only one of the pieces on the program, featuring works composed between 1940 and 2006, was written after the turn of the millennium.

Chamber concert by artists of the Hungarian National Philharmonic

We pay tribute to the French impressionist composer one day after his 150th birthday by celebrating the influence he had on his contemporaries and on the generation that followed him.

A régi ihletet ad az újnak, az új forma más minőséget teremt – a variációk izgalmas és értékteremtő játékával a Liszt Ferenc Kamarazenekar évek óta kiemelkedik a klasszikus zenei koncertek programkínálatából. Zeneakadémiai bérletük bővelkedik az újra értelmezésekben, az „ismerős, de mégis más” varázsát adó zenei változatokban.

A 16-year-old oriental princess with the voice of an Isolde: this was the perfectionist expectation Richard Strauss set for anyone portraying Salome, and now the South African soprano Elsa van der Heever, known for her portrayal of Elisabetta in the 2016 broadcast of Maria Stuarda, is about to prove she can pull it off.
