Classical Music, Opera, Theatre
"One of the most significant works in the history of music, which Johann Sebastian Bach never actually planned to write. It is curious that the Protestant master composed only one complete mass in Latin - presumably based on a commission to do so. Although Bach never wrote an opera, his oratorical works, like this Latin mass, reveal a perceptible dramaturgical approach. The composition addresses the twists and turns of human existence, the devastating and uplifting moments of our lives, from which the composer creates an incredible dramatic arc.” (Gábor Hollerung)

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
