I had thought that it was "A Keckszakallu Herceg >Vara," yet when I mentioned this to some people from Budapest they said >"That's not Hungarian." The Hungaroton record from which I got it 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. Cheers Gerald Kelly
