Hungarian singers present Puccini with piano

The piano afternoons and matinees are for them, about them, and inspired by them. At selected events of the season, Hungarian singers perform popular excerpts from Wagner’s Ring, selections from songs by R. Strauss, and arias by Verdi and Puccini, all presented with piano accompaniment. And of course, it is only fitting that alongside these programmes devoted to the works of international composers, there should also be an event featuring Hungarian opera arias. Two concerts pay tribute to Kodály, who plays a central role in this season. Another one traditionally organised in remembrance of Miklós Ybl, architect of the Opera House. Hungarian in every respect – international in standard.
