At the northern end of the so-called B-hall of the Eiffel Hall, a vast space is gaining a new function: it will serve as a venue for light music, crossover, and jazz programmes, welcoming casually dressed guests who come specifically for a quality experience.
The Hangar, set to be inaugurated at the end of 2025, will feature a 1,000-seat auditorium partly designed by the employees of the OPERA workshops, just like all other functional spaces of the Eiffel Art Studios. At the inauguration on 7 November, one of the most significant milestones in Hungarian opera will be performed: Béla Bartók’s one-act opera Bluebeard’s Castle, which plays on the concept of being “inside or outside.” This revolutionary fusion of folk culture and classical music – essentially an early example of crossover – will mark the opening of the venue.
