It was with relatively few complications that the new musical universe gave birth to a brand new genre – the rock opera. But what exactly is a rock opera? It’s difficult to say exactly, as rock operas generally appeared as vinyl LPs, in album form. They were then later adapted for the stage and even for film. One of the genre’s cinematic giants was Ken Russell, about whom we hear surprisingly little these days. Lisztomania is just one of his brazen, scandalous and impossibly original creations. It’s a bit like The Adventures of Picasso (1978), but in the world of music. At the heart of the opera is the figure of Franz Liszt, who can be considered the first ever pop star in many respects. But those seeking to quietly bow their heads in reverence to the immortal composer, pianist, conductor and music teacher should steer well clear of this film.
Host: Réz András

Our offer
In 2024, Emir Kusturica & The No Smoking Orchestra returned to perform at Müpa Budapest. The night was one big party. Was it what we would call folk punk? Balkan rollicking? Categories are meaningless. Kusturica is very consistent in his use of music in his films. (Sometimes the songs even become hits.)
A band committed to modernising Indian classical music, Araj consists of five young musicians considered in their homeland to be the outstanding performers of their generation. Formed by tabla player Ishaan Ghosh, all members are virtuosos of their instruments (tabla, sitar, bamboo flute, sarangi) and vocal techniques, and their interplay breathes new life into the Indian classical tradition.
In 2000, Lars von Trier broke free from the Dogme 95 movement he had helped create, and immediately won the Palme d’Or at Cannes.
