I have a video of the opera (Fishcer and the London Phil) and I have
checked in the Penguin dictionary of music; they both give the title
exactly as you have typed it! Penguin even labels it Hungarian. Have
they had a serious spelling reform since 1919? I don't know a word or
Hungarian but I will be interested in the answer as well.
