Big hitters and pretender to the throne
Although the year has already had more than its fair share of major stars, there are plenty of performers who are sure to turn heads in the the autumn and winter season. Partnering Sándor Köpeczi Anna Netrebko will perform the legendary role of Judith for the first time. Martin Rajna will take the Müpa conductor’s podium for the first time as Music Director of the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra, while the Finnish conductor Klaus Mäkelä will lead the Amsterdam Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra on his Budapest debut. The Bach Collegium Japan will perform before the Müpa audience for the first time and the RIAS Kammerchor will also make an appearance. As the Artist of the Season, we will welcome Gábor Bretz.
Alongside Branford Marsalis, Dianne Reeves, and Joe Lovano, the young jazz titan Emmet Cohen will also pay tribute to John Coltrane. Meanwhile, world music stars will invite audiences on a series of musical journeys that transcend borders. Popular artists from the Hungarian pop music scene will also make their presence felt, including Gergő Szakács, Noémi Barkóczi, Bori Péterfy, Hiperkarma and Nikolas Takács.
In addition to the latest production by the Pécsi Balett, Müpa’s Ensemble of the Season, the top dance performances from previous seasons will return to the stage. Our beloved series will also be back with both familiar faces and new performers.
