Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | János Kovács

Aufregend dirigiert und überwiegend gut gesungen sollte diese üppige aber schnörkellose Turandot sowohl Traditionalisten und abenteuerlustige Operngänger erfreuen.

Hungarian State Opera's cut-down, dramatically inert Gioconda fails to ignite the stage in Budapest, despite a solid musical foundation. 

Two of Hungary's favourite composers star in an evening of Hungarian music and dance.

The Hungarian State Opera's first New York tour featured an opera of forbidden love set in the Biblical Times by Karl Goldmark, and was a rare treat for the New York audience.

Con un interesantísimo programa conformado únicamente por obras de Mozart, La Orquesta Filarmónica Nacional de Hungría se presentó en Madrid con János Kovács al frente. El tributo mozartiano convocó al Cor Madrigal para la interpretación del monumental e incoparable Réquiem, con el que se cerró una magnífica celebración del genial compositor.

A new production of Humperdinck's charming opera fails to enchant at the Erkel Theatre. 

The score of Goldmark's opera is filled with lovely orchestral surprises, in addition to stunning arias, but is often filled with an abundance of slow tempos.

Young bohemians give Puccini’s opera the refreshing radiance of youth. 

Gyula Fekete's concerto based on themes from Chinese TV headlines a mixed programme at a concert which didn't succeed in everything but was generously filled with melody throughout.

Hungary is a landlocked country. In fact, Budapest is an awfully long way from the sea in all directions. So it’s not the first place you’d expect to come for a production of Wagner’sFlying Dutchman that is gloriously redolent of the sea, both in staging and in the orchestral performance. But that’s what we got last night at the Hungarian State Opera.
