The Georg Solti Accademia will present a star-studded gala at the Hungarian State Opera.

Set for Oct. 20, 2024, the showcase will feature Aigul Akhmetshina, Freddie De Tommaso, Hera Hyesang Park, and Paul Grant, all alumni of the Georg Solti Accademia’s Bel Canto Course for Singers. This is the first time these four artists perform together.

“This concert broadcast is an opportunity to share Aigul, Freddie, Hera, and Paul’s extraordinary talents with the world,” said Jonathan Lakeland, who is the Associate Director of the Accademia, per an official press release. “At the Accademia, we really believe in the importance of helping our students and alumni develop artistry and careers that are in-line with the reality of the opera world of today. This broadcast is an opportunity to help some of our alumni further develop their careers, while also raising awareness for the work of the Accademia. We want the audience at home to feel immersed in the feeling of this evening in Budapest, and be moved by the performances of these extraordinary musicians, while also feeling more connected to their story, and the story of the Georg Solti Accademia.”

The performance is supported by Rolex, the main sponsor of the Accademia. It will be broadcast around the world in collaboration with Decca and Deutsche Grammophon and will appear on the organization’s Stage+ platform.
