Mozart’s Kyrie in D minor is a rarity, as is the incidental music to Thamos, King in Egypt, from which the Hungarian National Philharmonic will perform the instrumen-tal suite on the fourth evening of its Kocsis season ticket. Thamos is noteworthy in that its Freemasonry-related theme means it can be considered a forerunner to The Magic Flute. Rossini’s Stabat Mater, one of the composer’s later works, is no average composition either as it is set apart as a religious work in an oeuvre generally made up of comic operas. The conductor for this concert, Pier Giorgio Morandi, has a deep knowledge of the Italian repertoire, while the Italian-Hungarian singing quartet com-prises nothing but outstanding artists in Selene Zanetti, Francesco Demuro, Atala Schöck and Gábor Bretz.

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.
