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.

Visually splendid, dramatically parched La Gioconda in Budapest

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

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. 

Erkel's Hunyadi László a visual feast, but lacks Magyar spirit

Szilveszter Ókovács' new production matches the opulent venue in all its eye-candy, with dazzling costumes, dark sets large crowds, and rapid scenic changes made possible by a newly installed mechanical stage. 

Hungarian State Opera delightfully revamps L’incoronazione di Poppea

Monteverdi’s last opera, recomposed by Máté Bella for a modern orchestra and a jazz combo, is an over-the-top, glitzy romp with plenty of casual sex and even more casual violence.

Dohnányi’s Der Tenor a star vehicle for Attila Fekete

Hungarian composer Dohnányi's fourth and last opera is a comic delight, especially in the hands of the team at the Budapest Opera.
