Manon

Ballet in three acts.

FrenchLateNight

Following last year’s MozartLateNight, this is the turn of two French composers to shake things up as their one-act operas take us to the exotic world of the Orient. Bizet’s Djamileh is a steamy tale, set on the banks of the Nile, about a slave woman who falls in love with her captor, while Saint-Saëns’s La Princesse Jaune (The Yellow Princess) is one about a Dutchman’s delirious vision of a Japanese phantasm. Strictly for over 18s only!

Bánk bán

Opera in three acts, in Hungarian with English surtitles

Szilveszterkor Éjszakai Denevér

Print

Különleges este, amelyben a straussi Denevér – úgy is, mint éjszakai állat – különösen jól érzi magát!

Az Opera 20:30-kor induló előadásának második felvonásába meglepetés-gálát épít közismert magyar művészekkel, a harmadik rész ittas börtönőrének, Froschnak jelmezét pedig Reviczky Gábor színművész ölti magára – csak ezen az éjszakán! Lesz továbbá pezsgő, tűzijáték az Andrássy úton és közös éneklés ugyanott: Erkel Bánk bánjának bordalával, a nézőkkel, az Opera művészeivel és munkatársaival mintegy ezerötszázan köszöntik együtt az újévet az Opera előtti járdaszakaszon, az előadást követően.
