Amsterdam: Hungarian State Opera at Het Muziektheater in Szókolay's ‘Blood Wedding’

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  27 April 2005

Extract

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.
