Classical Music, Opera, Theatre
Joining the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra as the soloist at the concert conducted by general music director György Vashegyi in the Great Hall of Vienna's Musikverein on 5 March 2025 will be the world-famous German soprano Marlis Petersen. The programme ranges from Romanticism through the fin de siècle period to the 20th century, with the Prelude and Isolde's Liebestod from Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde being followed by the rare treat of Ernest Chausson's song cycle Poème de l'amour et de la mer, composed between 1882 and 1890 and revised in 1893, and Bartók's late masterpiece, Concerto for Orchestra, which was written in America.

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.
