István, a király ("Stephen, the king") -9-


Excerpts from the 1983's Hungarian rock opera.(Act IV, István, a király)Hála néked, fejedelem! ("Thank to you, Grand Prince!")Halld meg, Uram, a kérésem ("Hear, My Lord, my request")Felnégyelni! ("Have him quartered!")Written by Levente Szörényi (music) and János Bródy (lyrics), whose work is a masterful melting of numerous and rather different musical styles, ranging from Gregorian chant, through folk music, to hard rock. The two were the leaders and main talents of beat band ILLÉS, which played a similar role with similar importance in Hungary to that of THE BEATLES in England.Based on actual historical events.Transition from paganism to Christianity. In 997 A.D., the Magyars' ruling prince, Géza, dies. The nation is torn between two religions, represented by the clashes of his son and chosen successor, István, and his pagan relative, Koppány, who claims himself to be the new leader, based on ancient pagan rules. Their fight is more than just about lordship, it also decides the fate of a nation trying to integrate in Europe.István: László Pelsőczy, voice by Miklós VargaVecellin, German knight #1: Lajos BalázsovitsPázmány, German knight #2: Sándor HalmágyiHont, German knight #3: Zsolt KörtvélyessyAsztrik, bishop: Máté VictorSarolt, István's mother: Kati BerekBese, opportunist nobleman #1: Péter BalázsSur, opportunist nobleman #2: Sándor SzakácsiSolt, opportunist nobleman #3: Sándor SörösRéka, Koppány's daughter: Ottilia Kovács, voice by Márta Sebestyén
