The Hungarian National Philharmonic Opera season ticket offers plenty of opportunities. The Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra and the Hungarian National Choir have the chance to perform in unison, superb vocal soloists will visit us from every part of the world, the operatic works are sure provide the audience with refreshment in terms of genre and, of course, the choir and orchestra will put their ability to the test in new situations that require a significant degree of musical adaptability. There is something more, however: the Opera season ticket also provides us with an opportunity to discover hidden gems. One genuine rarity that is well worth discovering is Édouard Lalo’s masterpiece, Le roi d’Ys.
The French Romantic, who came from a family of Spanish origin, is best known outside his homeland for his Symphonie espagnole. For French audiences, however, Le roi d’Ys is typically considered his greatest work. The three-act opera, which he completed in 1875, is adapted from a Breton legend. The mythical tale, which features a blend of the motifs of love and war, intrigue and self-sacrifice, reminds us of Wagner. The music’s harmonies and melodies and the heat of passion are also not free of the influence of Lalo’s great German contemporary, while the stylistic hallmarks also bear traces of inspiration from Gounod, and other analysts see it as a predecessor of Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande. The production, realised in collaboration with Palazzetto Bru Zane, features a parade of soloists including Judith van Wanroij, Kate Aldrich, Cyrille Dubois, Jérôme Boutillier, Nicolas Courjal and Christian Helmer – primarily French artists, though there are also Dutch and American singers, too. One of György Vashegyi’s goals is lead the Hungarian National Philharmonic in introducing Hungarian audiences to previously less well-known French Romantic operas, and this performance is a fine example of that ambition.
Our offer
As in previous years, the 2025/2026 Ferencsik season ticket is aimed primarily at lovers of the Viennese classics. Once again it, offers a wealth of enriching experiences. From Joseph Haydn, we will hear the Symphony No. 87 in A major, the Notturno No. 5 in C major, the “Clock” symphony and the Violin Concerto No. 4 in G major.
A French evening in the spirit of refinement, colours, moods – and pathos. The Debussy work, L’Après-midi d’un Faune, heralds the birth of impressionism and the two Saint-Saëns compositions, the Cello Concerto in A minor and the hugely popular Organ Symphony, represent romanticism – the latter of which is heavily influenced by Liszt. It is not just the composers who are French: so are the conductor and the soloist.
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.
