The city of Miskolc, once a centre of heavy industry under socialism, has become well known for its Bartók + ... opera festival, which it organised for the eighth time this year. Bartók is always on the festival bill, but a different composer or theme shares the spotlight each year. This year, Slavic composers and performers were on the programme.
This year's programme drew about 20,000 visitors to almost 60 performances, but the 200 events connected to the festival attracted some 150,000 people.
