Sándor Szokolay's first full-length opera was premiered at the Opera House in 1964, and was then quickly added to the programmes of several European theatres; since then it has been presented at more than 20 venues. The piece reworks Federico García Lorca's Bodas de sangre, considered the author's chef d'ouevre.
The expressive musical style that with elemental force presents the passionate love and the tragic destiny it brings and Lorca's profound and rich emotional world makes Szokolay's work one of the most important creative works in 20th century Hungarian opera literature.

Our offer
It could be that even we ourselves often don’t fully comprehend how many ways the digital age has changed our relationship with music. Nevertheless, there remain themes that simply demand an analogue, more traditional approach. Active since the ’10s, singer-songwriter Gergő Szakács has transitioned over the years from monumental pop sounds to more intimate, live instrumental productions, and this journey will reach its next important milestone at Müpa Budapest.
The evening promises a memorable encounter with one of the most celebrated groups of works in Bach’s oeuvre, as well as an introduction to the leading ensemble of the Japanese historically informed performance movement.
