Bánk Bán - With downloadable music excerpt

Bánk Bán's son, little Soma, befriends Mária, the queen's daughter. The king has to go to war and entrusts the country to Bánk, who does not like the queen's wastefulness. The two families turn against each other for good because of Otto and his profiteering servant. Children's friendships are at stake, their parents' lives...
Bánk Bán is deservedly the most famous work of Hungarian opera and drama literature, but today it is perhaps less accessible to young people. The writer Roland Acsai - for whom it is very important to keep classical works alive - thought big and decided to build a bridge between today's children and this great work of the past with an adventurous and touching tale.
