For the opening concert of the 2025/2026 season, the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra and its Kossuth Prize-winning chief music director György Vashegyi invite the audience first and foremost on a pleasant retrospective by performing Le Roi d’Ys overture from Lalo’s opera, which will cast our minds back to the recent successful premiere of the work in Hungary. more

In playing the Dohnányi work Ruralia Hungarica and Bartók’s mystery opera, Bluebeard’s Castle, the orchestra will, as is always the case for season-opening concerts, pay tribute to the lasting values of Hungarian musical culture. In the two soloists for the opera, Dorottya Láng and Gábor Bretz, we welcome two outstanding singers who are also celebrated outside Hungary.
At its season-opening concerts, it is customary for the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra to pay tribute to the lasting values of Hungarian musical culture, but it is not unheard of for a significant work of the European canon to be heard in the spirit of openness. Under the baton of its Kossuth Prize-winning chief music director György Vashegyi, the first evening of the 2025/2026 season will open with just such a piece, the Le Roi d’Ys overture from Édouard Lalo’s opera. Although it achieved great success on its premiere in 1888, the
work is rarely heard today but was very well received by the Müpa Budapest audience in January 2024, when the opera was performed as its Hungarian premiere. The performance of the overture here will be a handy reminder of the fact that a defining aspect of the work of the
Hungarian National Philharmonic is to discover unknown treasures. Dohnányi’s Ruralia Hungarica and Bartók’s mystery opera, Bluebeard’s Castle, two unquestionable gems of Hungarian music history, will then be heard – with the opera’s two soloists being Dorottya Láng and Gábor Bretz, two members of the Hungarian singing community who have achieved international success.

What could be a more beautiful sounding gift one week before Christmas than a three-part oratorio that is unknown in Hungary and recalls a less well documented part of Jesus’s life, the Redeemer’s childhood?
It is an important objective of the Hungarian National Philharmonic’s Opera season ticket to interpret not only popular hits of the genre, but also to present the audience with a rare and valuable work worth discovering from time to time.
Mozart’s Kyrie in D minor is a rarity, as is the incidental music to Thamos, King in Egypt, from which the Hungarian National Philharmonic will perform the instrumental suite on the fourth evening of its Kocsis season ticket.
As in previous years, the 2025/2026 Ferencsik season ticket is aimed primarily at lovers of the Viennese classics.
