Hungarian State Folk Ensemble: Wonderful Nativity
Evoking the excitement of anticipation and waltzing with angels in the bright starlight, to playfully immerse yourself in the Christmas wonderland. The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble’s nativity programme counts down to the night of the birth of Jesus, with scenes that are sometimes comic and other times heart-warming. The joyful period comes to life in this marvellous world of games, Christian traditions and stories drawn from folk customs, and it is no secret that we might even see a snowman, snow fairy, or ‘táltos’ shaman horse break out into dance now and then!

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.
