Opera House - Budapest - Hungary
Previous Next
The Opera House was designed and built in Renaissance style according to the plans of Mikl?s Ybl. Ferenc Erkel conducted the inaugural concert in 1884. Underneath the risalit is a drive-in entrance for cars and carriages. The statues of Ferenc Liszt and Ferenc Erkel, outstanding contributors to Hungary's musical life, can be seen on either side of the risalit. Both statues are the work of Alajos Str?bl. Between the Corinthian columns are statues of the Muses. Beyond the main entrance is the vestibule, decorated with allegorical frescoes from Bertalan Sz?kely, and at the entrance to the foyer are landscapes from ?rpßd Feszty. The ceiling of the horseshoe-shaped three storey auditorium is decorated with the paintings of Kßroly Lotz. The Opera House was reopened after reconstruction in 1984, the year of its centenary.
