Liszt Fest
Liszt: Festive Sounds - symphonic poem
Liszt: Four Forgotten Waltzes, No. 2, 3 (arranged by Zoltán Kocsis)
Liszt: Die Macht der Musik (arranged by György Selmeczi)
Liszt: Psalm 13
Liszt: Prometheus - symphonic poem
The Cluj-Napoca Hungarian Opera and its acting artistic director, György Selmeczi bring a programme to Budapest that fills a long-felt need. The compositions in the concert programme offer a particularly striking testimony to the complexity of the composer's creative character, yet they are regrettably rarely performed. György Selmeczi complied the music for the stage fantasy Saints and Demons in 2011, for the bicentenary of Liszt's birth, and it includes several of the composer's works, including the monumental song, Die Macht der Musik. The Cluj-Napoca Hungarian Opera's concert explores the question that Liszt was so preoccupied with: the tragic duality of the human spirit, its destructive and creative nature, the eternal struggle between faith and unbelief.

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.
