János Vitéz (John the Valiant)

Singspiel in three parts, in Hungarian, with Hungarian and English surtitles

"Such a wonderful story. Pongrác Kacsóh followed the poet's footsteps without wiping the butterfly wing scales with rough hands; its fantastic, sumptuous music is distinctly different from any operetta we have heard before, with its Hungarian motifs and authentic folk style,” reports the Újság newspaper of János Vitéz's 1904 premiere. It may sound incredible, but the title role was played by the great prima donna Sári Fedák. "When I sang 'A Single Rose Says It Better', the fate of the work was sealed. Everyone in the audience cried, and I cried with them.” Since the opera house premiere in 1931, there has hardly been a season in which it has not been included in the programme. With János Vitéz, OPERA would like to honor the 200th birthday of Sándor Petőfi in 2023.
