The Hungarian National Philharmonic’s Opera subscription for the 2025/2026 sea-son begins with one of the biggest hits in opera in Verdi’s Nabucco. The four-act biblically themed work – the first by the composer to achieve genuine success – will be conducted by the excellent Italian maestro Andrea Battistoni, with the key roles to be performed by a Mongolian baritone, a Uruguayan soprano and an Italian bass: Amartüvshin Enkhbat (Nabucco), Maria José Siri (Abigaille) and Evgeny Stavinsky (Zaccaria). The diversity of the international cast for this concert-format performance will only be enhanced by the top members of the Hungarian operatic community. The Hungarian National Choir (choirmaster: Csaba Somos) also plays a major part in the production.

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.
