World-Renowned Argentinian Opera Singer José Cura to Perform at the Reformed Great Church

During the joint concert by José Cura and Szabolcs Szamosi, the audience will not only have the opportunity to experience two exceptional artists, but also a musical form that is rarely heard in such an intense and refined manner.

The concert will take place on August 14, 2026, at 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased here.

José Cura is a household name among opera lovers worldwide. The Argentine tenor has made a lasting mark not only as a singer but also as a conductor and director. Throughout his career, he has performed at the world’s greatest opera houses, yet he has always retained the passion and spirit of experimentation that leads him toward new musical forms and spaces.

His church concerts are particularly close to his heart: in these intimate yet monumental spaces, sound and music can resonate in a more direct, personal way. In Cura’s performances, the drama of opera and the solemnity of sacred music form a harmonious unity.

The Master of the Organ – Szabolcs Szamosi

Szabolcs Szamosi, a Liszt Prize-winning organist, is synonymous with high-quality yet audience-friendly organ playing. His artistry blends tradition with openness: in addition to the classical repertoire, his concerts often feature new approaches and exciting arrangements.

The organ, as “the queen of instruments,” is a unique partner for a tenor. In Szamosi’s playing, the instrument does not merely accompany the voice but enters into an equal dialogue with it—enriching, nuancing, and fulfilling the musical experience.
