a concert with light show
Lighting Design: Tamás Bányai

Contributing: Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra, Dávid Báll – piano
Conducted by: Zsolt Hamar
Scriabin assigned colour shades to the notes of his last orchestral work. The intense experience of this piece is made complete with the use of a colour organ prescribed by the composer and light art.
Béla Bartók: Bluebeard’s Castle
Opera in one act, in Hungarian, with English surtitles
Libretto: Béla Balázs
Duke Bluebeard: András Palerdi
Judith: Andrea Rost
Contributing: Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra
Directed and Conducted by: Zsolt Hamar
Zoltán Kocsis (1952-2016) conductor and pianist’s contribution has made the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra one of the most significant interpreters of Bartók’s oeuvre. In this festival performance of Bluebeard’s Castle Zsolt Hamar, holder of the Liszt Award, heading the orchestra since 2017 undertakes the creative tasks of stage direction in addition to that of the conductor with the support of outstanding artists. He says: "I truly believe that opera is not a libretto with musical accompaniment but a theatre play of its own right written by the composer, in the language of music using means of expression inherent to music."
