Viennese Classicism and the 21st century: Symphonies by Joseph Haydn and the music of Levente Gyöngyösi. This is what this concert offers, along with a dramatic-sounding and renowned concert aria setting an ancient story to music; for a quarter of an hour it will smuggle a bit of operatic technique into the concert hall in order to transform the orchestra’s space into a theatre stage. Joining the Hungarian National Philharmonic as guests will be two outstanding young Hungarian artists: the singer is a familiar face for everyone in our country, and the conductor is at home in the famed concert halls of Western Europe.
