Blood Wedding is the first opera by the Hungarian composer Sándor Szókolay, (b.1931), who being three years older than Birtwistle and Maxwell Davies is, with Emil Petróvics (whose Kafka-like one-acter C'est la Guerre coexists with Blood Wedding in the Hungarian State Opera's regular repertoire), arguably the leading modernist among Hungarian opera composers.
