Hungarian musical and operetta heritage celebrations

Overview

Cultural initiatives celebrating Hungarian musical and operetta heritage have taken place in Kolozsvár and Budapest.

In Kolozsvár, a year-long program titled ‘Hat élet, hat sors’ (Six lives, six fates) was launched to showcase the heritage of the Hungarian musical stage. Organized by singer Róbert Plesa and the Operettissimo ensemble, the series focuses on the personal stories and works of composers such as Béla Zerkovitz, Mihály Eisemann, Lajos Lajtai, Szabolcs Fényes, Alfréd Márkus, and Rezső Seress.

In Budapest, the Operetta Theatre held a gala titled ‘Álom, álom, édes álom’ to observe Hungarian Operetta Day on October 24. The event commemorated the birthday of Imre Kálmán and the anniversary of Ferenc Lehár’s death through performances of classic melodies. The ceremony also included professional awards, recognizing performers such as Tamás Földes, Zoltán Kiss, and Mónika Lipics, while honoring long-standing figures like Marika Oszvald.
