One of the most important vocal performers active today, Juan Diego Flórez was ranked by the BBC as one of the finest tenors of all time. The singer was only 23 years old when he made his debut at the La Scala season opener. Ever since, he has been a recurring guest at the world's most prestigious opera houses, achieving remarkable success in bel canto roles and in the operas of Mozart. Recent years have seen him expand his repertoire to include works by Verdi, Gounod, Massenet and Puccini. Flórez is the kind of opera singer who charms the audience not only with his singular technique, but also with his intense stage presence and acting. Joining him for his aria concert will be the Hungarian State Opera Orchestra, playing under the baton of his regular partner, Christopher Franklin.

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.
