Budapest Wagner Days 2024
- 14 June 2024 - 29 June 2024
“No Tickets for Bayreuth? Budapest Has a Wagner Festival, Too.” So read the headline from the effusive 2013 New York Times review of the Budapest Wagner Days. A lot of water has flowed down the Danube since then, but the success of the Wagner festival conceived by Ádám Fischer remains – in the eyes of critics and the audience alike – unbroken. Naturally, we will get to marvel at this wonderful experience once again in June...

JazzTime 2024
- 1 September 2024 - 7 September 2024
The JazzTime festival treats the audience to productions that convey a sense of timelessness. Dressed in the sound of jazz in early September will be Leonard Bernstein, the Hungarian pop divas of the 20th century and the classic figures of Latin music. All three evenings centre on the ladies, but next to them we will always find the gentlemen, without whom the balance would not be complete.
On 1 September, Nikoletta Szőke and Bálint Gájer return...

Müpa Film Club - Being Woody Allen
- 2 October 2023 - 30 June 2024
Being Woody Allen
Müpa Budapest Film Club's new series, Being Woody Allen, is a compelling selection of the actor-writer-director's work. Eighteen films. That's something. Although, when you consider that this is less than a third of Woody Allen's film output... Incredible. When did he even sleep? (I'm sure he would have a joke to make about the connection between insomnia and narcolepsy.) In 1950, he...
