On April 28, the concert version will premiere at the Palace of Arts in Budapest.
"This cooperation is quite dramatic itself, and it is similar to our cooperation for 'La Boheme'," says Zhang Zhe, president of the Shanghai Grand Theater Arts Center. That opera last October was a coproduction with the Salzburg Music Festival.
Coproduction with foreign opera companies enriches the performances, lifts the level of Chinese opera and production and lowers costs.
The Chinese cast for "Attila" has not been announced.
"'Attila' is not often staged and we would like to take this opportunity to make it better known around the world," says Csaba Kael, manager of the Palace of Arts in Budapest.
