Gala concert

Among the most majestic events of the Hungarian social calendar and with an unbroken history stretching back nearly 200 years, the Anna Ball held in Balatonfüred owes its success in part to the contributions of the Hungarian State Opera. We have found a location for a summertime gala night on Balatonfüred’s Gyógy Square which will no doubt prove a worthy venue for the popularisation of opera in the dignified setting that the genre deserves.
