Celebrated Hungarian composer Péter Eötvös’s first Hungarian-language opera, Valuska, will premiere at the Eiffel Art Studios on December 2 in Budapest, the Hungarian Opera House said in a statement.
Eötvös’s 13th opera, composed at the request of the Hungarian Opera House, which Eiffel Studios is a part of, is based on László Krasznahorkai’s award-winning book, The Melancholy of Resistance. The book was also the inspiration of Bela Tarr’s film Werckmeister Harmonies.
