EARLY MUSIC FESTIVAL
Jakub Józef Orliñski is one of the most exciting performing artists of our time. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Müpa Budapest audience only encountered him by means of a streamed concert in 2021, but they will get to hear the still-only 34-year-old Polish countertenor – and breakdancer – live in March 2026, and witness why he has been achieving great success for over a decade now. As its discography shows, his partner, Il Pomo d’Oro, reserves a special place in its repertoire for Handel’s operas. The international early music ensemble founded in 2012 will perform one of these works: for the performance of Giulio Cesare, Orliñski, singing the title role, will be joined on stage by internationally renowned singers such as Sabine Devieilhe, Yuri Mynenko, Beth Taylor, Rebecca Leggett, Alex Rosen, Marco Saccardin, and Rémy Bres-Feuillet.

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.
