Domingo-HAUSER-Dimash
On April 18, 2026, the MVM Dome in Budapest will host an exceptional music event where Plácido Domingo, HAUSER and Dimash Qudaibergen will take the stage together for the first time. This special occasion brings together three artists who are loved, determined and excellent to the point of admiration in the world, their meeting is not just a joint action – it is the meeting of three artistic galaxies.
Schedule
The evening will feature exclusive new orchestrations and joint performances for this project. The production is supported by an international creative team that completes the experience with innovative visual solutions and state-of-the-art sound technology.
Musical control is provided by Péter Pejtsik, a Liszt Prize-winning composer and conductor who moves at home in the worlds of classical music, crossover and symphonic rock. The artists will be accompanied by the Budafok Dohnányi Orchestra, complete with a rhythm section, providing a rich and diverse basis for the musical characters of all three performers.
Domingo brings its unparalleled opera heritage, HAUSER’s iconic crossover style and overwhelming stage presence, while Dimash Qudaibergen brings with it an extraordinary range of sound and performance for this joint production. The collaboration of the three of them connects different artistic worlds and creates a performance of truly exceptional significance.
MVM Dome
MVM Dome is the seventh largest indoor event venue in Europe. Its capacity for sports events and concerts is significantly higher than that of the Budapest Sports Arena. It has 20,022 seats; a total of 50,000 square metres of floor space; innovative, rearrangeable spaces for many indoor sports (handball, basketball and volleyball, futsal, ice hockey, tennis, skating) as well as certain athletic, equestrian and motorcycle competitions, and even swimming competitions and water polo matches in the mobile pool. Through the six entrances to the building, spectators can enter the arena’s interior using eight escalators, leading to the walk-through grandstands accessible on three levels. The structure of the building’s exterior is reminiscent of muscle fibres: the light strips placed on the outward-leaning, elliptical sections not only embrace the building, but the light shows, programmed using various colours, appear to set the entire building in motion. There is a 600 square metre display on the façade of the building. The Main Entrance leads to an impressive foyer, where visitors will be greeted by a grandiose hanging light installation of 848 handmade glass tubes. The programmable sports lighting is also suitable for HDTV broadcasts of the highest-level world competitions, as well as for super-slow-motion recordings due to flicker free technology. The lighting system also plays an important role in the events and concerts, as it is suitable for changing the colour temperature of the auditorium, which means that the lighting functions can be changed without rearranging the arena, only through the pre-programmed lighting controls. This design is the first and is unique in Europe for luminaires of this power. A central display (cube) provides information in the auditorium during the events.
