Celebration in the Realm of the Queen of the Night – Reception

Join us as we usher in a new season and celebrate opera, music, the marvel of the human voice, creativity, and the many-layered artistry of a genre that delights and stirs all the senses.

Iván Fischer has renewed The Magic Flute. Mozart’s opera transports us into a world of enchantment, allowing an escape from the daily grind. Join us for tasty hors d'oeuvres before the curtain rises, served in an atmosphere created by fashion designer Eszter Cselényi and unmistakably evoking the world of Mozart himself. After the opera, guests of the BFO and Müpa Budapest are invited to an informal gathering to meet the artists and creators participating in the performance. Selfies allowed! Gone will be the distance between stage and audience, and art will become tangible. An evening of connections and once-in-a-lifetime encounters.

In the realm of the Queen of the Night, it is not just our hearts and minds which dress up. At last year’s Don Giovanni reception, guests enjoyed donning formal attire to help make the opera premiere even more memorable. We hope this will become a tradition.

If you are an opera-lover and enjoy dressing up for an evening event, join us! Celebrate with the BFO and the exceptional international artists who bring this luminous performance to life.
