A century ago, the world first encountered this remarkable opus, a work that soon became one of the cornerstones of twentieth-century musical innovation. Premiered in 1926, the singspiel is a milestone in Hungarian music history: its composer, Zoltán Kodály, fulfilled his aspiration to elevate Hungarian folk song of ancient origin to the same status as classical music, by virtue of its equivalent values, placing it on the stage of the nation’s Opera House. The Hungarian historical tale woven from folk songs blends elements of science fiction, the absurd, and at times painful historical reality, yet remains firmly grounded in love of homeland and pure love. The main roles of the hundred-year-old work are performed by two Hungarian artists from beyond our borders: Csaba Sándor from Transylvania and Gabriella Balga from Slovakia. It is staged by Transylvania-born Attila Béres, director of the Miskolc National Theatre, as his first production at the Opera House. His interpretation respects the spirit of the original while remaining open to the possibilities of the present. This centenary staging invites audiences to rediscover the opera’s timeless beauty, cultural significance, and extraordinary ability to build a bridge between past and present through the universal language of music. At the conductor’s podium stands Péter Halász, the OPERA’s principal guest conductor and former music director.

Minden idők egyik legkedveltebb romantikus története, az ikonikus film sikeréhez méltó, musicalként születik újjá a Madách Színház színpadán.
Recirquel’s new production, Paradisum explores the myth of rebirth following the silence of a destroyed world, where the means of communication is the body, and the only common language is movement.
Napfényben fürdő görög sziget. Mindent körbeölelő csillogó türkiz tenger. Hangulatos tavernák, ínycsiklandó étkek, mavrodaphne… Egyszerűen idilli - tökéletes felkeresni, ott…
