CAFe Budapest undertakes to settle an old debt of the Hungarian opera scene. Földindulás, Sándor Balassa's fourth opera, which is based on János Kodolányi's drama, has been awaiting its premiere for one and a half decades. "I wrote the libretto myself. The story take place in the Ormánság, and is about the Hungarian land and Hungarian life.”
Throughout a rich career of more than fifty years, Sándor Balassa has always remained, despite all the impressions he received from the diverse modern schools of music, a "singing” composer who is inspired by melody, even when he composes for a symphonic orchestra, rather than for voices. Ádám Medveczky, the conductor who has long been a devotee of the opera Földindulás (Cataclysm), said recently: "I am very happy to be able to present Sándor Balassa's piece at a concert performance. Following some experimentation, Hungarian composers have returned to the classical corner stones of music, melody, harmony and rhythm.”
