What makes the Mass in B minor so unique is the fact that in it Bach – most unusually for a Lutheran composer – set the liturgical texts of the entire mass cycle to music.

The globally beloved Portuguese genre of fado is already familiar to the Müpa audience, and now one of its greatest contemporary stars is visiting Budapest for the first time. Nominated for a Latin Grammy, Carminho is a true heir to her mother, Teresa Siqueira, and was celebrated as the genre’s great hope in 2005, even before she reached the age of 20.

Together with her internationally successful early music ensemble, L’Arpeggiata, harpist and theorbo-player Christina Pluhar are renowned for fashioning each and every concert programme out of a unique project. For this occasion, they have chosen one of the greatest masterpieces from the Baroque opera literature:

Jazzbois first burst onto the scene at the 2017 Müpa Budapest Jazz Showcase. By 2023, they were hosting Kaláka as guests at the Festival Theatre, and, a couple of years later, they were conquering major international festivals: the Leverkusener Jazztage, the Montreux Jazz Festival, Jazz à Vienne, and the Montreal Jazz Festival, to name but a few. Jamie Cullum also dedicated an entire BBC radio show to the band, including a conversation with Viktor Sági.

A szarvassá változott fiú kiáltozása a titkok kapujából – koncertszínházi előadás

This multi-art production draws on the song, dance and literary traditions of Mezőség (Câmpia Transilvaniei), a region in Transylvania with a very exciting and colourful culture.

Jonas Kaufmann, a sokoldalú német tenor, a budapesti közönség régi kedvence emlékezetes sikerű Mein Wien (Az én Bécsem) című albumát követően új lemezén a magyarokra irányítja a reflektorfényt. A tervezett cím – Magische Töne: Berühmte Melodien aus Österreich-Ungarn, azaz Varázslatos hangok: híres dallamok az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchiából – utal arra, hogy a művész ezúttal a külföldön legismertebb magyar komponisták, köztük Goldmark Károly, Lehár Ferenc, Kálmán Imre népszerű műveiből válogat.

Tárkány-Kovács Bálint verseit elsősorban a Tárkány Művek lemezeiről ismerhette meg a közönség, ám ezek csupán három évtizednyi költészetének töredékét mutatják föl. Általában megzenésített versekről van szó, itt azonban olyan dalokról, amelyek megmaradtak versnek, mert ének helyett a beszéd maradt elsődleges médiumuk.

Köteleket eloldani, vitorlákat kibontani, indul a BaHorKa Társulat zenés hajója! A Müpába már szinte hazajáró csapat teljesen új oldaláról mutatja be a magyar tengert.

Cecilia Bartoli is returning to Müpa Budapest! Any chance to host the world-famous Italian coloratura soprano/mezzo-soprano is a cause for celebration: her appearances are invariably made extraordinary by her cascading displays of scintillating technical feats and the emotional and passionate intensity of her performances.

Elgar: Violin Concerto in B minor, Op. 61

The dice and the stopwatch will be coming out again at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall as it hosts another round of musical ‘battle’. When we talk about instrumental duels in the Hungarian capital these days, it is no longer necessarily Bach and Marchand, or even Liszt and Thalberg, that we are thinking of, because we have our own riveting concert series right here at Müpa Budapest.

The late ’70s saw tremendous enthusiasm brewing over the appearance in cinemas of a new – and quintessentially Hungarian – genre: the ‘Goulash Western’, with films like The Wind Blows Under Your Feet and Wrong-Doers. Despite winning critical acclaim for them, however, director György Szomjas decided to take a completely different approach for his 1981 film.

The Kossuth Prize-winning pianist János Balázs was 13 when he was accepted to the Liszt Academy of Music's Special School for Exceptional Young Talents in 2002. By the time he finished at the university, he had racked up victories at six international piano competitions.

Vincenzo Bellini’s final opera is a veritable apotheosis of bel canto that should only be presented to an audience with performers displaying impeccable technique and stylistic sensibilities.

The Clair-Obscur project is the coming together of two storied ensembles, and a unique interplay between two musical traditions.

This concerto has all the attributes to make it a genuine celebration for the audience.

In 2024, Emir Kusturica & The No Smoking Orchestra returned to perform at Müpa Budapest. The night was one big party. Was it what we would call folk punk? Balkan rollicking? Categories are meaningless. Kusturica is very consistent in his use of music in his films. (Sometimes the songs even become hits.)
