Classical Music, Opera, Theatre
In paintings about Christmas, angels singing and playing festive music is a recurring theme. The aptly named Angelica Girls' Choir, who are led by Zsuzsanna Gráf, and help nurture the legacy of Kodály and Bartók, have captivated Müpa Budapest audiences on several occasions. It also not the first time that we will celebrate the festive season with the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra. Under the artistic leadership of István Várdai, the orchestra has now entered its seventh decade. This year's concert will be a genuine delight for all lovers of choral music and chamber orchestras. The soloist for the two ensembles will be the soprano Ágnes Kovács.

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
