The opera, which deals with love, guilt and vengeance, was directed by Balázs Kovalik.
Budapest and Pécs, which is a 2010 European Capital of Culture, are the guest of honour at this year culture festival in Karlsruhe.
Head of the Karlsruhe cultural bureau Susanne Asche said earlier that this year's festival would promote cultural diversity. Many Germans still see Hungary in the clichés of "paprika, Gypsy music and Piroska", and the festival organisers are determined to changes this, she added.
The festival runs until May 8.
