Boito: Mefistofele

Mefistofele

Telephone: +361-353-0170

The poet, novelist, conductor and composer Boito was born in 1842.
He was one of the most exciting and versatile personality of the Italian culture in the 19th century.
He wrote Mefistofele in 1867.
The premier was held in Milan 1868 but because of the composer’s lack of experience as a conductor the performance was a failure.
However after the revision in 1875 the composition received loud celebration.
Boito’s opera was different from the works of Berlioz of Gounod.
He had drawn from Goethe’s Faust as well but he focused on the wager of God and Satan.
Boito made small changes on the opera between 1876 and 1881.
Mefistofele because of it’s  fragmented, episodic structure and not formulaic dramaturgy has become a modern opera which is an exciting theatrical adventure at all times.

Director: Balázs Kovalik
Conductor: János Kovács

Mefistofele: András Palerdi
Faust: Attila Fekete

The Wayward Daughter is one of the oldest ballet of the world.
It was presented first on the eve of the French Revolution in  Bordeaux by the Jean Dauberval ensemble.
Since then the musical material has been changed several times, while in 1960 Sir Frederick Ashton (1904-1988) created his own version.
Sir Frederick Ashton’s name is inseparable from the first fourty years of British ballet.
He is a defining figure of the English dance.He retired as the director of the Royal Ballet after creating dozens of masterpieces.
In his works the main roles went for the beauty, musicality, a sense of humour.
The Wayward Daughter is a comic ballet too.
