Jenő Kenessey; István Örkény – Péter Tóth
The Gold and the Woman; The Tót Family
Operas in Hungarian, with Hungarian and English surtitles
This programme features opera versions of two literary works by two important authors from the Hungarian world of letters: the opera based on Gyula Krúdy's eponymous play that Kálmán Nádasdy commissioned long ago, and now, more than 70 years after that premiere, the Opera is staging a world premiere based on one of István Örkény's key works, The Tót Family.
The Gold and the Woman was Jenő Kenessey's sole foray into the genre of opera and, at the same time, one of the most popular Hungarian works of the first half of the 20th century. The piece is the story of a 15th-century parabolic love triangle. The ageing husband in a rather empty marriage takes his revenge on the young man out to seduce his wife by tempting him in a different way: by offering him counterfeit gold coins made in his alchemist’s shop. Not suspecting anything, the elated young man chooses this glittering wealth. The husband, however, alerts the town guard, and the soldiers immediately arrest the greedy owner of counterfeit money. The married couple is left alone once again.
A few years after the success of his fairy tale opera Prince Árgyélus, composer Péter Tóth, who also serves as dean of the University of Szeged’s faculty of music, set to work on composing an “adult” one-act piece. The Tót Family is one of the most important novellas and plays in Hungarian literature, which now, following the emblematic Fábri-Latinovits film and a slew of theatrical productions still competing with each other to this day, has found a place for itself in the genre of opera.
Some people need to immerse themselves in the world of a true classic every evening: this family fairy tale ballet by the Szeged Contemporary Dance Company gives every member of the family the opportunity to do just that.
Megnyugtató, ha az ember szülei évtizedek után is békében, szeretetben élnek együtt. Szinte egyszerre lélegeznek, ismerik egymás minden mozdulatát, fel vannak készülve minden sóhajra, horkolásra, tüsszentésre. Most új otthonban kezdenek új életet, hiszen a gyerekek felnőttek, élik a saját életüket. Vagy ez mégsem ilyen gömbölyű?
Egy amerikai kisvárosban élő egyetemista társaság minden hétvégén vacsorát ad, ahol egy-egy meghívott vendéggel vitaestet tartanak a világ megjavításának lehetőségeiről. Egy alkalommal az aktuálisan kiszemelt vendég helyett váratlanul más érkezik a házhoz, de ők gyanútlanul beengedik az idegent. A békés, világjobbító szándékkal rendezett vacsora hamarosan gyilkos fordulatot vesz, az események láncolata pedig olyan lavinát indít útjára, ami elképesztő méreteket ölt…
