China goes to the movies: The Dream of the Red Chamber at the Budapest Spring Festival

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.
