When a season is centred around three composer geniuses like the eponyms of the BMW season, every possible approach must be taken to showcase their magnificent legacies. The most fundamental way is to stage the operas of Beethoven, Mozart, and Wagner. However, there are many performers who do not have roles in the works of these three masters but would gladly sing from their vast vocal repertoire. The BMW Afternoons are dedicated to them, for them, and by them. In selected performances throughout the season, Hungarian singers will present a selection of songs and arias by Wagner, Beethoven, and Mozart, with piano accompaniment. This aria series should also include an event dedicated to Hungarian opera arias. A performance that is Hungarian in every essence – yet of international calibre.
Featuring
Gabriella Balga, Andrea Brassói-Jőrös, Kinga Kriszta, Tibor Szappanos

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 tale of Leander the goblin and Princess Linseed, brimming with magic and a seemingly unbreakable curse, not to mention a wealth of twists and turns, is a genuinely good yarn. Set to a libretto by Barnabás Szöllősi that is based on Andor Szilágyi's fable for the theatre and written at the OPERA's request in the 2014/15 season, Erkel Prize-winning composer Zsófia Tallér's masterful, expressive and entertaining music makes this Hungarian fairy tale opera an enjoyable experience for children and adults alike, and, we hope, a possible future classic.
