Danubia Orchestra: Bach X Electric

Georges Bizet CARMEN Opera in four acts, in French, with Hungarian, English, and French subtitles

Radina Dace / Léo Delibes Little Coppélia Children’s production for little ones, with English subtitles

A century ago, the world first encountered this remarkable opus, a work that soon became one of the cornerstones of twentieth-century musical innovation. Premiered in 1926, the singspiel is a milestone in Hungarian music history: its composer, Zoltán Kodály, fulfilled his aspiration to elevate Hungarian folk song of ancient origin to the same status as classical music, by virtue of its equivalent values, placing it on the stage of the nation’s Opera House.
