Az arany meg az asszony

About

A Hungarian-language social music listening and discussion session focused on Jenő Kenessey’s one-act opera The Gold and the Woman was held on 30 May 2017 at 16:00 in the Opera House’s third-floor Confectionery in Budapest. Framed as an intimate salon-style event rather than a staged or concert performance, the session explored the opera’s background, historical context, narrative, and musical structure. The work—Kenessey’s only opera—premiered at the Opera House in 1943 and adapts Gyula Krúdy’s drama. Notably, the opera unfolds over a single day and its musical form imitates a sonata. No specific presenters, staging elements, or production design details were listed on the event page.
