BARTÓK’S MASTERPIECE RETURNS TO THE STAGE – THE MIRACULOUS MANDARIN
After two years, Bartók’s exceptional and emblematic work returns to Müpa Budapest, and will also be performed in Bonn and Bucharest by the artists of the Budapest Festival Orchestra and the Eva Duda Dance Company. The production, conducted by Iván Fischer and choreographed by Eva Duda, premiered in 2023 as part of the Bridging Europe Festival.
This monumental score and its sweeping choreography meet again this September:
