Gala concert of the 100 Member Gypsy Orchestra with wine dinner
30, December 2025 7 pm
The 29th MUSIC-WINE celebration has already become a tradition, where every year on December 30, the world's one and only 100 Member Gypsy Orchestra gives a grand gala concert.
This year we continue the tradition, treating our guests to famous operetta excerpts of Imre Kálmán, Ferenc Lehár and Johann Strauss with performances by distinguished soloists of Budapest Operetta Theatre and Hungarian State Opera House. The evergreen melodies can be seen in the brilliant performance of Enikő Lévai and Máté Fülep this evening. The show will conclude with the inevitable "Pacsirta" and the Radetzky march, conducted by the principal violinist József Lendvai Csócsi.
