“What? Me? To the opera? No way! Should I be sitting in a squeaking chair for five hours for ten thousand forints, awaiting the final death of some fat woman eagerly while she is relentlessly singing for another half an hour? No, thanks, that's not for me. I much prefer X Factor; there, I can at least laugh! Well, I can laugh at the opera, too.”

The Music Hater returns, and this time, he will (not) visit the opera. What is the great fuss about? Improbable, forced plots, anachronistic sets, voluminous divas singing unintelligibly. What's so good about listening to operas? This is what Péter Janklovics and the Danubia Orchestra will try to understand at their most recent symphonic stand-up night.
