Bor, zene, vers

The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble's nativity programme counts down to the night of the birth of Jesus, with scenes that are sometimes comic and other times heart-warming.

What would happen if Sándor Petőfi were to write János Vitéz right here and now, before our very eyes? In this new stage version, the story emerges from a giant laptop, from which the two-dimensional and living characters of the tale come to life to bring the world of Johnny Corncob and Iluska into being through spoken word and song.

Dés. For decades a byword for excellence on the Hungarian music scene. A considerable number of musicals, film scores, major hits and jazz albums is attached to his name. His best-known songs include Nagy utazás, Vigyázz rám, Olyan szépek voltunk, Legyen úgy and Mi vagyunk a grund. In addition to these popular songs, performed with invited guest artists and an excellent band, we will also hear new compositions. An evening on which music becomes at once a celebration, a reunion and an unforgettable experience.
