These will take place each time at 5pm on the Sunday of the week following the live transmissions of the respective performances. The repetitions will be in the Auditorium. Tickets prizes : 4.000 HUF and 2.500 HUF.

La fanciulla del West – 16 January
Lucia di Lammermoor – 27 March

The Metropolitan Opera included in the series of transmitted performances the brand new staging of John Adam’s Nixon in China, which sets to music the tiny, behind-the-scene details of this historic visit, thus presenting the events and the characters from an enitely different perspective than that of the official press in its time. The four-hour opera first performed in 1987 at the Houston Opera House will be transmitted live on the 12th of February, 2011 at 7 pm at the Auditorium.
