During the 1884 inauguration of the Royal Hungarian Opera House in Budapest, political elites staged a gala concert in
the auditorium while the angry crowd, excluded from this ceremony, demonstrated on the street. In 1917, the crowds
queuing to a Béla Bartók premiere needed to be forcibly held back. The book follows the history of the contested institution through a series of scandals, public protests, repertoire controversies and their representation in the urban press of
the time. Such conflicts often led to larger issues that concerned the Opera House as a music institution, the birth of the
modern public sphere and the modern audience. Thereby, the book calls for a critical rethinking of the cultural history
of Budapest and Hungary in the late Habsburg Monarchy.
Markian Prokopovych is a cultural and urban historian at the University of Vienna. His earlier publications, among
others, include Habsburg Lemberg: Architecture, Public Space and Politics in the Galician Capital, 1772–1914, Purdue
University Press 2009.
