Seating plan
One-act operas, in Hungarian, with Hungarian and English surtitles
Performance time: 2 hours 30 minutes, with 1 intermission.
How far do we let other people into our minds, souls and pasts? And what happens when someone forces their way into our consciousness even though we haven't let them in? Béla Bartók and Béla Balázs' world-famous opera offers insight into the different layers and stages of the relationship between man and woman, while János Vajda's work, based on the famous novella by Thomas Mann, depicts the effects of blind extremism and mass hypnosis. Two brilliant 20th century one-act operas in one evening: both Hungarian and both about the deepest workings of the human mind and how the psyche can be influenced.
