Puccini’s final opera, Turandot, returns to the Hungarian State Opera between 4 and 12 October 2025, in the grand and highly successful production staged last year by Dóra Barta, who has recently been inducted into the Company of Immortals. The story of the cold-hearted Chinese princess and her suitor’s love, burdened with power struggles, comes to life with a double cast, featuring Csilla Boross and Szilvia Rálik, Giorgi Sturua and Boldizsár László, Polina Pasztircsák and Gabriella Létay Kiss, as well as Dénes Gulyás in the leading roles, under the baton of Martin Rajna.
Following its highly successful guest performances in 2023, this year the Hungarian State Opera will visit the most populous city of the United Arab Emirates with productions of La bohème and Swan Lake, as well as a Beethoven concert. The ensembles of the OPERA will present a total of three opera and six ballet performances, along with one symphonic concert in Dubai between 18 and 28 September 2025.
As one of the highlights of the 2025 autumn season at the Eiffel Art Studios, Péter Eötvös’s opera Valuska returns to the stage for the first time since its 2023 world premiere. The work by the world-renowned composer, who passed away last year, and which won the category of Best World Premiere at the 2024 International Opera Awards, is performed three times during the season between 17 and 24 October.
