Following on from last year’s huge success, the Mozart Expedition, Müpa Budapest’s mini-festival with the Budapest Festival Orchestra, continues this September with a whole host of exciting programmes. This time, Müpa will explore Mozart’s final stage work, the eternally relevant The Magic Flute, from new and unconventional angles–the opera can be appreciated both as a rite of passage and a profound fable of coming of age.
