Another in a long line of vocal sensations at Müpa Budapest. Eleven months after Anna Netrebko sang Verdi’s Requiem for the first time in her career in Budapest, the world-renowned Russian soprano will make her debut as Judith in several major cities, the Hungarian capital among them, in a concert performance of Bartók’s mystery opera Bluebeard’s Castle. Her partner in the title role will be Sándor Köpeczi, whom the audience of the Requiem will have heard in January. The bass from Cluj-Napoca has enjoyed enthusiastic acclaim everywhere from the Bavarian State Opera and the San Carlo in Naples to the New York Metropolitan. In the first half of the concert, Misi Boros will perform Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1. Since his victory in the 2014 Virtuózok television talent show, he has become one of the audience’s biggest favourites. Conducting the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra will be Henrik Nánási, a leading figure in Hungary’s musical and operatic life for decades now.
