Bellini: Il pirata Concert-format opera performance, in two parts with one intermission, in Italian
Ten years - ten operas: Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835), the Italian master of early Romanticism who, though he lived an even shorter life than Mozart's, still proved highly influential, creating his entire output for the musical stage in the course of a single decade, between 1825 and 1835. While his most famous works are Norma, I puritani and La sonnambula, the rich melodic world and lively plot of the rarely heard The Pirate, now being performed in concert by the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir, also merits attention. The principle roles in this unique gem of the bel canto repertoire will be sung by an international cast of soloists conducted by Dániel Dinyés.

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.
