The production of the Hungarian State Opera attempts to revive the essence of the singspiel and by joining it with the Christmas carol collection Oh, Beautiful, Mysterious Night by Miklós Kocsár to create an Advent performance that draws from the past of both Hungary and the Opera House itself, with the participation of the Children’s Chorus. The production directed by Attila Toronykőy, an expert in staging youth performances, evokes the characters of folk traditions referring to Biblical figures from the family to the angel, the shepherds, and the soldier.
