Artiste: János Szerekován

Peter Eötvös' 13th opera – the first in his native Hungarian – premieres at the Eiffel Art Studios in Budapest. 

Show-stealing bass singing from Krisztián Cser and an immensely powerful Act 2 make a persuasive case for Verdi's neglected predecessor to Rigoletto.

The big man in the fat suit rules the show, briging vigour and joie de vivre to Hungarian State Opera's Falstaff.
