Hommage à Cziffra 104 l Erika Miklósa – János Balázs – José Cura
In recent years, the joint performances by Erika Miklósa and János Balázs have become among the most anticipated events not only of the Cziffra Festival but also in Hungarian classical music circles. There could be no better occasion to expand their artistic collaboration than the anniversary of the birth of the man the festival is named after. The evening, which explores the interplay between opera, the soprano voice and the piano, will be further enriched by the trademark style of José Cura, which organically complements the original concept to open up new perspectives. The world-renowned Argentine tenor has previously performed at the festival with Erika Miklósa and been a chamber music partner of János Balázs, but this is the first time the trio will share the stage together. This novel encounter also promises to be a special musical adventure for the audience. The Cziffra Festival Awards will be presented at the start of the concert.

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
