Hunyadi László - Hungarian State Opera

Hunyadi László is a historical grand opera from Hungary. The epic covers the life and death of the 15th-century soldier and politician, Hunyadi László, son of János Hunyadi who defended Hungary against the attacks of the Ottoman Turks. When the new weak King, László V, takes a shine to Mária, László's fiancée, the young man is arrested and his fate is sealed. The executioner’s axe falls - several times - on one of opera’s most grizzly finales.
