Jolanta's Slippers A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

By tradition, the Liszt Academy Opera Festival is organized to coincide with the dates of the opera exam in January. Every year the staging of the Opera Festival is coordinated with different invited fellow institutions—this year, with the academies of music in London and Berlin. Students of the Department of Vocal and Opera Studies (head of department: Andrea Meláth) take part in the meeting under the direction of András Almási-Tóth, head of the opera programme, with a production of a Tchaikovsky opera barely known in Hungary. Tsarina’s Slippers is based on a novella by Gogol about a pair of lovers who, battling the devil and their own emotions, eventually succeed in finding each other.
