,,Minden évadban szeretnék operát rendezni...”
“I Would Like to Direct an Opera in Each Season”

Summary/Abstract: Gábor Tompa, the world renowned theatre director, is one the iconic personalities of Transylvanian Hungarian theatre. In his conversation with the theatrologist Hajnal Tóthfalusi, he reflects on the relationship between opera and the theatre, as well as on the characteristics and the importance of contemporary opera productions. Tompa emphasizes that the opera still has an authoritative role in the consumption of culture, although our school curriculum could not be thought of as especially friendly or open toward the opera. Although the public is often not sufficiently educated and motivated, the great theatre directors are increasingly turning to the opera, discovering in it the unusual aesthetic complexity of expression. Thus, Gábor Tompa himself is planning to direct new opera productions throughout the world.
