Müpa Budapest

Went here for a jazz concert on one of my last days during my weeklong stay at Budapest. While the jazz concert itself was good, if a little underwhelming, the venue is absolutely excellent, visually and in terms of acoustics.

Amazing building, with three separate auditoriums for concerts, where they can organize concerts simultaneously. Truly an amazing peace of architecture. If you have a chance, check out their rooftop terrace!

Excellent venue for musical performances. The acoustics are fantastic and I highly recommend box seats.

Five stars, over and over! Aesthetics. Five stars. ⭐️ Comfort. Five stars. ⭐️ Acoustics. Five stars. ⭐️ Convenience. Five stars. ⭐️ And for innovation, at least five stars. ⭐️ We attended a performance of the Mozart Requiem held in the Bela Bartok Hall within the Müpa complex. After attending a series of concerts in some of Europe’s most famous concert venues (Paris Philharmonic, Concertgebouw, Gewandhaus, Berlin Philharmonic, Czech Philharmonic, Vienna’s Musikverein (home of the Vienna Philharmonic), and more, I feel that Bela Bartok not only holds its own but may be my favorite of the modern halls, and that its acoustics may be one of the two best I experienced, Musikverein being the other. Having sat in balcony seats in most of these halls I can say with confidence that I’m comparing “apples to apples”, at least to some extent. (Obviously, there were different programs with different orchestras so a pure comparison is not possible.) Regardless, my experince was one of the highlights of a three month sojourn in Europe, and with total certainty the highlight of my four days spent in Budapest.

Enjoyed every minute of Wang Yuja recital! Iconic! Bravo performance! First time in MÜPA a bit easy to get lost. Can visit the Ludwig museum before the show starts.

We went to MÜPA to celebrate our anniversary and see Post Modern Jukebox in concert. While we enjoyed the concert, we were shocked and disappointed with our experience at the büfe. We bought a Snickers and had to pay a mandatory tip. Although the amount was minuscule, the fact that we were OBLIGED to pay a tip, and do so for a candy bar that I picked up from a basket by the cash register is ridiculous. 1. A tip should not be mandatory - it is to reward and encourage good service, or not. It is a matter of personal choice. 2. In this case there was no service involved. 3. The tip demanded was not 10% or even 15%, but an almost unheard of 18%. Shame on you. You should pay your staff a normal wage and not try to gouge your patrons for money.

Nice place, ample parking and short walk from public transport. Performance was incredible. Live opera and orchestra definitely is a plus.

Great venue with amazing sound in the big concert hall! A lot o nice niches to recline and ponder during the break. Well organized and helpfull staff quite quickly provided big mass of music lovers.
