Special exhibition opened in Debrecen

Vojtina Puppet Theatre 13 Kálvin Square, Debrecen, Hungary

The exhibition, titled “POINT”, which opened last weekend, presents the artistic company of the Vojtina Puppet Theatre in an unusual way. 2025 is an important and sensitive period in the life of Vojtina, as the theatre celebrates its 50th birthday in December. In spring 2025, the season will close with an exhibition that gives a glimpse into the personal space of the puppeteers at which  twelve artists will reveal their unseen faces, their playfulness: what do they keep from their childhood? What do they do in their free time? What books do they read? What's on their Spotify list? What is their favourite puppet or puppet show? Many questions that will help visitors to get a "behind the scenes" look at the performers. The point is the initial unity, the symbol of completeness, the beginning and end of possibilities. The point in the human microcosm means the navel, the centre, the intersection of vertical and horizontal directions. The artists allow themselves to be seen by entering this “POINT" with the help of curator Terka Láposi. The exhibition can be viewed in the exhibition space of the Vojtina Puppet Theatre on Kálvin Square until June 15. Date:until 15 June Location:Vojtina Puppet […]

Masterpieces by Mozart and Schubert Performed at the Debrecen Church

Reformed University Church of Debrecen Egyetem tér 2, Debrecen, Hungary

Who would have thought that of all Mozart's bassoon concertos (because he supposedly composed five), only one remains to us? The Kodály Philharmonic Orchestra's chamber orchestra concert on 27 May in the University Church will include this work. Visitors to the concert will also be able to hear a true gem of the divertimento genre, the composer's Serenade in D major, better known as the Serenata notturna. Mozart's masterpieces will be joined by Schubert's Symphony No 8 (B minor,  the famous 'Unfinished' symphony, whose incompleteness is perhaps its endlessness. The title of the evening is “Hymn to Infinity”. The soloist is József Vitányi, bassoonist of the Kodály Philharmonic Orchestra. The orchestra is conducted by their permanent conductor Tibor Bényi.  Tickets are available at Klassz Pont Ticket Office and Kölcsey Centre, and online at kodalyfilharmonia.jegy.hu   Date: 27 May, 7.00 p.m. Location: Reformed University Church of Debrecen Source and photo credit:dehir.hu
