The program includes the viola concerto movement composed in the style of Bartók and premiered in 1955, which will enter into dialogue with Bartók's piano concerto written ten years earlier. The concert will also feature the strikingly beautiful cello-piano double concerto from the late 1980s, one of Kurtág's most significant mature works, which will dovetail with the Beethoven string quartet movement that was most important to Kurtág. This will be followed by the world premiere of the single-act opera Die Stechardin. Composed between 2023 and 2025, this one-act monodrama for solo soprano presents a refined, sensitive monologue by Maria Dorothea Stechard, the prematurely deceased partner of the late 18th-century German polymath Georg Christoph Lichtenberg – a message from the afterlife and a true masterpiece of old age.
The event is taking place as part of the Kurtág 100 programme series organised by the BMC and presented by Müpa Budapest.

Our offer
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.
The OPERA Orchestra’s official season-opening concert featuring monumental works is a real treat for classical music lovers.
