The Queen of Sheba a rare Hungarian delight in New York

Ako Imamura, 2nd November

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.

Hungarian State Opera's slow-motion The Queen of Sheba

Alexandra Ivanoff, 18th May

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.

Bartók double bill at Müpa Budapest

Julien Hanck, 7th October

Hungarian critic Sandor Hevesy once declared that Bluebeard’s Castle was “far too dark”. Yet, Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle and Miraculous Mandarin are probably the summation of his orchestral journey. And what better experience then making it to Budapest, to hear it in its birthplace?

Una Bohème muy teatral abre la temporada del Municipal de Santiago

Pedro Carcey, 7th May

Con una flamante Mimì de Yaritza Véliz, se inicia la temporada de ópera en el Municipal de Santiago. La producción se erige como una revisión innovadora tan teatral como musical.

Anduaga consuma un Werther de brillantez técnica y lírica en el Liceu

Maria Sánchez, 4th May

Idealización de tonalidades luminosas y pulso musical en las líneas románticas de Massenet, capitaneadas por el estreno de Xabier Anduaga en el papel del joven protagonista.

David Smythe

David the farmer was drawn into music through choirs, orchestras, taking part in and directing 'serious' opera as a student. Passionate about live classical music, particularly chamber opera, unusual pieces and events and giving the next generation the tools to engage with the classical world.

Senza sangue the ideal partner to Bluebeard’s Castle in sensational Hungarian double bill
