Bluebeard’s Castle, Op. 11, Sz. 48, BB 62

One of the most celebrated young conductors of our time, the 30-year-old Klaus Mäkelä from Finland makes his Budapest debut leading the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. The impressive Amsterdam ensemble returns to Müpa Budapest after a four-year absence. One of the most highly anticipated concerts of the season promises a very special evening in terms of its program: Antonín Dvořák’s monumental Symphony No. 7 will be followed by Béla Bartók’s one-act opera, Bluebeard’s Castle. The production features two Anglo-Saxon stars: the Canadian bass-baritone Gerald Finley, well known through the Met’s HD broadcasts, and the British mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnston, who makes her Hungarian debut on this occasion.

Presented by: Müpa Budapest
