Haydn explosive. Music from revolutionary times.

Multimedia stations, project installations, and unusual exhibits offer an insight into the life of this musical genius – from his early compositions in Eisenstadt to stardom in London and his
late work – and also explore his influence as a composer
both in the past and the present

Opera composing was one of Haydn’s main assignments; the works stilled the pronounced appetite of Prince Nicholas I the Magnificent for prestigious opera performances. Haydn concentrated mainly on opera buffa; he put the works of the great writer Carlo Goldoni to music, thus injecting an Italian flair into opera productions at Esterhaza Palace.
