Almost 500 years ago, Péter Bornemisza translated and adapted one of the most famous and powerful Greek dramas of mankind, Sophocles' Electra. Bornemisza wrote a real Hungarian story, a contemporary drama from the ancient masterpiece, which has become so timeless that we can still recognize ourselves and our world in its characters. Hungarian Elektra is the work of a great playwright: it is linguistically mature and perfect, and it clearly shows the intellectual power and richness of thought of its author. And although the language seems difficult at first, if the English watch Shakespeare in the original, why can't we do this with an old Hungarian play?

“I've captured a terrific storm of elements and of hearts which gradually calms to Brünnhilde's magic sleep,” Wagner on the score of Die Walküre, in a letter to Ferenc Liszt. Following on the heels of the introductory Das Rheingold, this opera about the tragic love between two of Wotan's children constitutes the start of the more tightly drawn dramatic trilogy. Once again, the laws of the gods clash: can paternal love save a lad who has violated the sanctity of marriage?
Set in the Roman Empire around 74 BC, Spartacus was László Seregi's first true full-length ballet, which at one stroke became a milestone in Hungarian dance life. Since 1968, one generation after another has enjoyed the historically themed choreography, which treats the story of the ancient slave revolt in such a way that its true message is not the rebellion itself, but rather human emotions and choices under pressure.
