DEAR VIEWERS, We would like, even during this extraordinary situation, for our fantastic audience to still be able to encounter the world’s most outstanding and thrilling artists each evening – in the safety of their own homes. We believe that there are no limits to the „Müpa Budapest experience”, which is why we decided to unlock our media library for everyone over the weeks to come and – each night at the familiar times: 7 pm, 7.30 pm or 8 pm, depending on genre – open Müpa Budapest’s virtual concert hall by providing access to an unforgettable performance from past years, which we’ll transmit on our website, our Facebook page and our YouTube channel.

What is more, as a member of the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO) and in the spirit of international solidarity, we will also be streaming concerts on our Facebook page from different prestigious concert halls around Europe, from Lisbon and Hamburg to London – trusting that this will make evenings at home more pleasant.

Take good care, and let’s continue to stick together!

THE NIGHT OF A POET’S LOVE

Featuring: Julian Prégardien – tenor • Sandrine Piau – soprano • Eric Le Sage – piano • Lia Pale – vocals • Mathias Rüegg – jazz piano Even though this is a period when it is safer to only travel in our imagination, as a member of the European Concert Hall Organisation, we are arranging for all of us to be able to feel like we will be sitting in the auditoriums of each of the continent’s most prestigious performing arts centres for a concert. On our Facebook page we will thus be offering you a glimpse into the programmes held at major European concert halls from Lisbon and Hamburg to London – trusting that this will be another way to make the time spent at home more pleasant.

There are few groups in the country where half of the members are foreign citizens. Mongooz, formed by three medical students, are one such band. The modern blues, soul, funk and rock music of the Norwegan, Irish and Hungarian quartet has made a splash not just in Hungary but around the world. They will bring a mature sound and plenty of followers to Müpa Budapest in their quest to build a bridge between people of different nations.
