Müpa Budapest is one of Hungary’s most significant cultural institutions and has become a defining meeting place for the domestic and international arts scene since its opening in 2005. Its programme offering, which spans a wide range of genres from classical music to pop, dance to contemporary circus, and youth programmes to literary evenings and film clubs, reflects a commitment to quality and diversity. In addition to its world-class concert hall and theatre – the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall and the Festival Theatre – the venue also hosts the Ludwig Museum of Contemporary Art, and boasts the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra as its resident ensemble. Among the most significant festivals organised by Müpa are the internationally renowned Budapest Wagner Days, the Bartók Spring and the Liszt Fest. Through these programmes, the institution plays a prominent role in fostering international cultural relations, as well as in initiating and supporting the creation of new works and innovative productions.
