Seduction in the first degree – new mini-festival at Müpa

What makes the figure of Don Juan timeless? Why has this character captured the imaginations of artists, thinkers and audiences for centuries? From 9 to 13 September, we will, along with the Budapest Festival Orchestra, be dedicating an entire mini-festival to this enigmatic and multifaceted figure, including opera and dance performances, a literary evening, film screenings and a cultural character puzzle.

Mozart expedition

The first theme of the Mozart Expedition, which is set to return annually, is the legendary womaniser, so we could not do without the genius composer’s Don Giovanni, which will be conducted and directed by Iván Fischer over three nights and with global stars in the leading roles.
