Verdi: Simon Boccanegra – concert performance
Artistic collaborations between Müpa Budapest and the Munich Radio Orchestra have already delighted audiences with two Verdi rarities: I due Foscari in 2018 and another early Verdi opera, I Lombardi, which was performed in 2023 by an outstanding international cast of singers. On this occasion, chief conductor Ivan Repušić has chosen another gem, Simon Boccanegra. The stewardship of the exceptional Croatian and the participation of the Bavarian ensembles are sure-fire guarantees of quality, while the lead roles will be taken up by artists who regularly grace the world’s greatest opera stages, from La Scala to the Met. The part of Simon Boccanegra will be performed by one of the most sought-after Verdi baritones of our time, the Romanian George Petean, while Amelia will be portrayed by the renowned Italian soprano Eleonora Buratto, who is celebrated for her Verdi interpretations.

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.
