Stars' recitals with piano: Ferruccio Furlanetto

This format was made necessary by life. By size, the Ybl Palace is one of the medium-sized opera houses, but in terms of beauty it is first class, which we further enhance by lighting it gorgeously. On its podium, or the top of its orchestra pit, the soloist can stand almost fully surrounded by the audience, and accompanied by our brand new Steinway—and of course an instrumentalist partner—he can give a most memorable recital featuring his favourite opuses for voice as well as his sensitively interpreted opera arias in the second part after the interval.

Ferruccio Furlanetto has most certainly been the most famous bass soloist of the opera scene for the longest time.He has everlasting stamina, an intimidating voice, rock steady technique and an intelligent, deep understanding of operatic roles. Following his Don Giovanni and Eugene Onegin recordings made with the OPERA’s musicians, he returns to our stage to give a song and aria recital, and to repeat his 2019 success in Erkel Theatre at the very least as the 50th anniversary of his career is approaching.
