Péter Halász

Péter Halász is one of Hungary’s leading conductors, internationally acclaimed for the breadth of his repertoire and the clarity, precision, and dramatic intensity of his interpretations. In recent years, he has conducted numerous opera premieres to critical acclaim, earning particular praise from Hungarian and international reviewers for his analytical insight and musical authority.

“Thanks to Péter Halász’s euphoric yet clear and precise conducting, the Budapest Ring possesses a unique dimension and quality – and reaches the standard of the opera houses of Frankfurt or Stuttgart.”
- Deutschlandradio Kultur

“What we hear from the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker under the direction of Péter Halász amazes us again and again. It possesses a finely-honed virtuosity, while at the same time it never overpowers the strong, yet nuanced voice parts.”
