Ildikó Pongor has been a defining figure of the Hungarian National Ballet for several decades, where she first danced all the important female figures of the ballet oeuvre, and later acted as an artistic director and a choreographer. Vienna and Stockholm were important stages of her international career, but she also appeared in other major cities of Europe, North America, and the Far East. In 2012, she only said farewell the stage as a dancer; as a ballet master, she has an indisputable merit in the creation of many productions to this day. On her birthday, we celebrate the multi-award-winning Eternal Member and Master Artist of the OPERA with a gala featuring excerpts from the most popular classics, and we may see her on stage again for a short time among her students as well.

Our offer


For the 14th time, the performance of the famous Symphony No. 9 will dominate the OPERA’s New Year celebrations. In 2027, the programme will be completed by two further classical works: Beethoven’s overture, also enhanced by Mahler, and a cello concerto by Haydn, the latter of course featuring an OPERA soloist.

As it is a latent Kodály season, it seems only fitting that the concert at the OPERA honouring the events of 1956 should feature works by the composer. In that same year, the short-lived Revolutionary Council of Hungarian Intellectuals elected him as its president. Throughout his entire oeuvre, Kodály consistently reinforced Hungarian national identity. The programme gains both colour and a ceremonial character from the hymn-like and dance-infused compositions of his middle and later years.
