"Palinka!"
Melbourne Recital Centre Salon
Have you ever wanted to say ‘Cheers!’ in Hungarian? Or perhaps you’ve been wondering how to bake that spicy honey cake to help you meet Mr. Right? Come with the Stiletto Sisters to the shores of Lake Balaton where the best wines are made. Feast on fish soup with paprika, silver walnuts and golden apples, cherries, elderberries and mushrooms gathered from under the pine trees of the Bakony mountains. Enter a strange world full of mythical creatures including a wicked, magical chicken ‘csodacsirke’, a miraculous white stag and, of course, a mosquito bigger than a horse …
Music by Johannes Brahms, Jenő Hubay, Béla Bartók, Zoltán Kodály and Grigoraș Dinicu as well as traditional Hungarian songs, potions, spells and secret recipes. ‘Egészségedre’!
