It is an important objective of the Hungarian National Philharmonic’s Opera season ticket to interpret not only popular hits of the genre, but also to present the audience with a rare and valuable work worth discovering from time to time. For the 2025/2026 season, the historically themed opera Jean de Nivelle, completed in 1880 by the composer of Coppélia and Lakmé Léo Delibes, will revealed to the Müpa Budapest audience in a concert-format performance conducted by György Vashegyi and with an international cast comprising singing talent exclusively from outside Hungary. The title role will be portrayed by Cyrille Dubois, while the performance is a co-production by the Hungarian National Philharmonic and Palazzetto Bru Zane.
Léo Delibes, the French romantic contemporary of the German romantic Brahms was born in 1836 and passed away in 1891. A student of the Conservatoire de Paris under Adolphe Adam, he was most in his element as a composer of works of musical theatre. He was productive in the genres of both ballet and opera, with three works to his name in the former and five in the latter, and an immortal audience favourite in each: Coppélia (1870) and Lakmé (1883).
His three-act opera Jean de Nivelle, which was written between the two in 1880 and tells the story of a 15th century French historical figure, was successful at the time of its premiere but yearns to be rediscovered today. Under the baton of György Vashegyi, the Kossuth Prize-winning chief music director of the Hungarian National Philharmonic, it will be heard here in a concert-format performance in French with an international cast featuring the superb French tenor Cyrille Dubois in the title role. As was the case with many previous efforts to plug gaps in the repertoire, the production is the result of a collaboration between the Hungarian National Philharmonic and Palazzetto Bru Zane.
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. The creatures of this idyllic existence unfold from the ever-changing, swirling natural forces of the ‘fabric of life’ that pulsates around them, so they can reach the anima mundi, the world soul, through scenes of purification, birth, awakening and ritual.
The spectacular tournament of infantrymen and mounted knights - together with Italian flag- throwing show, archers’ show, medieval dance and falconry shows, as well as jousting - is held at the original tournament field of the royal palace with amazing performances featuring outstanding international participants, among others Lajos Kassai, the world-famous horseback archer. Come and be part of this real one-of-a-kind event which presents you and your family a very special blend of history, spectacle and fun!
