On Sunday, April 26, 2026, the Europa Ship (1011 Budapest, Jégverem St. [Jégverem u.]) sets sail for a one-of-a-kind cruise-meets-concert celebrating Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s 270th birthday. Over roughly 90 minutes on the Danube, the Duna Symphony Orchestra (Duna Szimfonikus Zenekar), conducted by Gábor Horváth, will play the composer’s greatest hits as Budapest drifts by in the twilight glow.
Live Classics on the Water
Expect a crowd-pleasing lineup: highlights from The Marriage of Figaro (Figaro házassága), the effervescent Rondo Alla Turca (Török induló), the always-hummed Eine kleine Nachtmusik (Kis éji zene), and sparkling movements from Six German Dances (Hat német tánc). It’s the kind of setlist that turns first-time listeners into instant fans and gives longtime Mozart devotees a fresh setting for familiar brilliance.
