In the current season, Tchaikovsky’s fairy-tale ballet is performed a total of 42 times, more than ever before, between 29 November 2025 and 11 January 2026 at the Hungarian State Opera, including three additional performances on 15, 19 and 31 December due to great public interest. Alongside its iconic fairy-tale ballet, the OPERA also welcomes audiences to its children’s productions of Hungarian Christmas and The Magic Flute for Children during Advent and throughout the holiday season.
The double cast of Miklós Szinetár’s production features several opera singers making their debut at the Opera House, including Polina Pasztircsák and Zita Szemere as Pamina, Regina Koncz as the Queen of the Night, and conductor Péter Halász. The run of Mozart’s popular Singspiel, taking place from 22 November to 10 December 2025, has been expanded with additional performances on 25 November and 4 December.
The programme of the musicians of the Hungarian State Opera Orchestra on 6 November 2025 spans from Baroque to contemporary Hungarian composers, inviting the audience to the Opera House’s Medgyaszay Room. The theme of the first event in this intimate series is the flute family, featuring not only popular classical pieces but also works with a jazzy character.
