Schedule
On the tenth anniversary of his birth ten years ago, we commemorated the great fan of the Italian Renaissance, the Hungarian architectural legend, who left a lasting legacy not only to his main work, the Opera House, but also to the Várkert Bazaar, the Basilica and the Danubius Fountain on Elisabeth Square - together with hundreds of other works. The guests of the evening were engineers and architects themselves, and since then we have tried to make the Ybl Concert a celebration of the architectural profession, and the concert programme tries to include masterpieces by Miklós Ybl's contemporaries, and in many cases by personal acquaintances. Before the concert, representatives of our institution and the Ybl Association will wreath a plaque on the side wall of the neo-Renaissance Opera House, as is customary, accompanied by Italian Renaissance tower music - a programme that was cancelled for years due to the historical restoration of the building, but which will be restored in 2022.

Hungarian State Opera
The Hungarian State Opera House is the only theatre in Hungary with a large company, specialising in operas and ballets. The building is one of Budapest's most important 19th century monuments. It was built in neo-Renaissance style according to the plans of Miklós Ybl. The richly decorated interior was designed by renowned Hungarian artists, including Mór Than, Károly Lotz and Bertalan Székely.
