DEAR VIEWERS, We believe that there are no limits to the Müpa Budapest experience. We would like, even during this extraordinary situation, for our fantastic audience to still be able to encounter the world’s most outstanding and thrilling artists each evening – this time in their own homes. It is precisely for this reason that we have decided to unlock our media library for everyone over the weeks to come and – each night at the familiar times: 7 pm, 7.30 pm or 8 pm, depending on genre – open Müpa Budapest’s virtual concert hall by providing access to many live concerts (although without an audience) or an unforgettable performance from past years, which we’ll transmit on our website, and our YouTube channel. We trust that, in this way, we will be able to make the evenings you are spending at home more pleasant and full of magical and uplifting moments. Take good care, and let’s continue to stick together!

THE PURCELL CHOIR’S 30TH BIRTHDAY CONCERT – HAYDN: THE CREATION Featuring: Katalin Szutrély – soprano • Márton Komáromi – tenor Lóránt Najbauer – bass • Purcell Choir, Orfeo Orchestra (on period instruments) Conductor: György Vashegyi The Purcell Choir is now 30 years old – and what way could be better to celebrate this than with Haydn’s grand oratorio The Creation? As the performance scheduled for May 2020 had to be cancelled, we are now ready to warmly welcome everyone for this shared celebration now! György Vashegyi founded the Purcell Choir in 1990 for a concert-version performance of Dido and Aeneas, and after the Orfeo Orchestra was established in 1991, the two ensembles developed into Hungary’s leading interpreters of early music. The performance will be broadcasted on our website and YouTube channel.

BALLET COMPANY OF GYŐR: PIANOPLAYS
Études to works by Liszt and Wagner Featuring: János Balázs – piano Creators: Gabi Győri – costume designer • Alexandra Csepi – dramaturg Yaron Abulafia – lighting designer • Zsuzsa Jónás – assistant László Velekei – choreographer, artistic director László Velekei’s works always explore the contradictions between individual actions and the judgements passed by society. For this choreography, however, he has chosen an eternal and universally familiar theme: love. This production built around short études shows the different faces of love, which sometimes recall a stormy sea, and at other times a hidden brook, slowly burbling away. It is both battle and play between two people: to wound and be wounded, to heal and be healed. But which one is to bleed to death from the wounds caused by the other? This recording was made at a performance held at Müpa Budapest on 18 May 2018. The performance will be broadcasted on our website and YouTube channel.

CINEMA ITALIA
Featuring: Fulvio Sigurta – trumpet • Luciano Biondini – accordion Enzo Pietropaoli – double bass • Michele Rabbia – percussion For decades, the compositions of Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota have provided an array of incredible experiences for both fans of Italian cinema and countless music lovers. Morricone’s 2016 Oscar win provided recognition of his ambition to reach the very highest level of film score composition. In this concert, a quartet formed from the cream of the Italian jazz scene will play a selection of famous themes composed by Morricone and Rota. Their creativity and virtuoso improvisations will conjure up new and exciting forms of these wonderful melodies. This recording was made at a concert held at Müpa Budapest on 21 September 2019. The performance will be broadcasted on our website and YouTube channel.
