Tan Dun: Buddha Passion - Hungarian premiere
- Liszt Fest
Ticket prices
Before he set pen to paper, world-famous, Oscar and Grammy award winning composer Tan Dun spent some time at the Mogao Caves (Caves of the Thousand Buddhas), a UNESCO World Heritage site in Western China. The hundreds of temples and meditation grottoes bear witness to a thousand years of Buddhist art. The famed reclining Buddha, a 15-metre long sculpture, can be found in cave 158. The libretto was directly inspired by the murals around the statue, as well as by the ancient writings and musical notations that Tan Dun studied on location, at the Dunhuang Library Cave.
Staged concert with one interval, in Mandarin and Sanskrit, with English and Hungarian surtitles.
The concert will be preceded from 6.30 pm by an introductory presentation in Hungarian entitled Prologue in the Auditorium, by musicologist Gergely Fazekas, where concert ticket holders will be invited to get to know the performing musicians and the works to be performed more closely. Admission to the programme is subject to prior registration on our website.
