Stairway to heaven: thrilling Mefistofele in Budapest

Mark Pullinger, 29th May

Rarely performed, Boito’s Mefistofele is an audacious, spectacular opera, needing an audacious, spectacular staging to do it justice. That’s exactly what it gets in Balázs Kovalik’s production for Hungarian State Opera.
