Hungary’s National Opera And Ballet To Make Their First-Ever Visit To U.S.

“The Hungarian State Opera and Hungarian National Ballet will make their US debut by sending 350 musicians and dancers to New York with support from Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s right-wing government. The October 30-November 11 performances at Lincoln Center will highlight Hungarian works including Bánk Bán, a signature opera of national anthem composer Ferenc Erkel, and Bluebeard’s Castle, the only opera of early 20th-century giant Béla Bartók.”
