Neue Kritikenmehr...
All that glitters is not gold in Budapest's new Lohengrin
Klára Kolonits's radiant Elsa proves the main attraction in the Hungarian State Opera's visually appealing but conceptually lacking new Lohengrin.
Epic swing and miss: Boris Godunov opens at Hungarian State Opera
András Almási-Toth production of the original version of Mussorgsky's historical epic underwhelms in Budapest.
Sumptuous revival of Arabella at Hungarian State Opera
Hungarian State Opera revives their mostly period production of Strauss' Arabella with star turns by sopranos Polina Pasztircsák and Laura Topolánszky.
Peace and War: a Hungarian victory for Bieito’s bold production

Csaba Polgár tries to make the best of La Fille du régiment
Zita Szemere is a wonderfully ebullient Marie, but the new production at the Hungarian State Opera merits a mixed report card.
