Operakarácsony

The Müpa Budapest audience has long admired Gábor Bretz’s outstanding artistry. In the 2026/2027 season, however, even greater attention will be focused on the internationally acclaimed bass baritone, celebrated for his velvety tones, refined vocal culture and exceptionally meticulous craftsmanship.

A folyamatos túlterheltség, a nyugalom iránti reménytelen vágy és az ebből fakadó állandó feszültség mindannyiunk számára ismerős élmény – ám kevesen tudják olyan pontosan formába önteni mindezt, mint Gyuris Bence.

Two masterpieces of late 19th-century French sacred music make up the programme of this concert-hall celebration: Gabriel Fauré’s exquisitely beautiful Requiem and the Clovis Mass by the elderly Charles Gounod. Between the movements of the latter work, the audience will also become acquainted with four further gems from the Gallican tradition of church music, with one composition each by Alexandre Guilmant, Louis Aubert, Camille Saint-Saëns and Théodore Dubois.
