Review of Gyula Fekete’s opera The story of a mother. 'A rare moment' - we often say, when a new Hungarian opera is premiered. However, this assessment was fortunately less and less true in recent years, owing to the Miskolc Opera Festival, too. In the previous three years several premieres of Hungarian operas took place at the Festival - among others the new work of György Selmeczi, János Vajda, György Orbán and László Dubrovay. We have a good reason to hope, that this tendency will continue in the future, as well.

The singer will come to Hungary again in November to sing the title role of Tannhäuser at the Hungarian State Opera House in Budapest. Though probably the greatest star of this festival, Robert Dean Smith is a humble, very friendly and genial person. The interview was made before the performance of Die tote Stadt.
