This year we continue the tradition, treating our guests to famous operetta excerpts of Ferenc Lehár and Imre Kálmán with performances by distinguished operetta soloists. The show will conclude with the inevitable "Pacsirta" and the Radetzky march, conducted by the principal violinist József Lendvai Csócsi.
