A Night at the Budapest Opera House

Budapest has an established culture of classical music, whose legacy has sustained the country throughout its troubled history. read also: http://grouplinks.wikidot.com/blog:1

The history of the opera house is well documented and can be found on many websites. So here I just want to refresh your memory and list the major events.

The neoclassical building was built in 1875, nine years later. The new building under the royal shelter was called the Hungarian Royal Opera House.

As usual, Emperor Franz Joseph opened it with a part of a patriotic opera called Bank B, which was conducted by Franz Erkel.

Ever since it opened, the building has survived two world wars, a revolution, a communist era, and many crises. It is known today as the Hungarian State Opera and is supported by the government of the day regardless of political affiliation.

When you visit western tourists, you will see that the ticket price has incredible value. You can buy your tickets online on a good ticket and pay with a regular credit card. Don't forget to find the English Ultravide display or you'll get a Hungarian translation from the original language. My husband is now very familiar with Italian songs with German or Hungarian Boom! More fun when you have to guess!

At the rear of the building, the original frescoes that boast of music and art have unfortunately been destroyed but have since been destroyed. The best preserved interior is the canistrap, which leads to the auditorium and bar in the middle of the foyer.

The entire interior is decorated with sculptures and paintings, including Hungarian composers, composers and singers.

Itor Detorium is of traditional European design, in the shape of a layered horse. The ink box is in the middle of the first level private box. A word of caution: the seats are too heavy to sit for long periods of time. This is due to previous sound considerations that the seats should be slightly padded. Of course, this fact does not need to be strictly followed, as many of the world's best opera houses have fully seated seats that are very smooth on the human body without affecting the sound quality of the auditorium.

If you go to a theater in Budapest, especially opera, don't forget to wear a semi-formal formal dress and leave your well-managed jeans at the hotel.

Now let's go to the operation.

We were really looking forward to our night at the opera and chose Madame Butterfly as our first visit this season. However, my husband, a theater consultant, did not disappoint seeing the imaginative and old and worn set. I say that I found the set a bit static and in my memory compared it to the English National Opera version of London with dramatic use of red, white and black.

However, when it comes to the main themes, singing and music, we get the return of a very well-coordinated ensemble duo who played Pinkerton and Seo-Seo-san, the latter rarely being Seo-Seo-. Imitates as San. He Came. 15 years old!

Both singers were young with tremendous voice and told heartfelt stories. American Consul Sharles and Maid Suzuki gave this sad story a worthy balanced fringe advantage. The Opera House has a very good orchestra that plays with very large cuts.

My husband's first words when he looked around for a drink, where was that bar? We ordered Hungarian sparkling wine, although they mistakenly called it Champagne. The waiter gave us less than a full step and to my surprise I completely forgot to complain! Yes, it was not a glass 10, but we would have liked the right glass!

After the performance, we headed to the beautiful old "Little Metro", as the locals affectionately call it, and within 30 minutes we were in our Penthouse apartment apartment.

We will be back in any case! The music was uplifting, professional and the value for money was good for the experience. Next is another favorite, La Boheme!
