For the Opera, with its genuine sense of responsibility for Hungary’s vocal culture, Attila József’s birthday is an appropriate time to set poems to music. With this in mind, the building will play host to an afternoon of Hungarian poems and songs starting prior to the dress rehearsal of Parsifal. With the participation of students of theatre arts and soloists of the Opera, musical works by Kodály and other composers set to Hungarian poems will be heard.
