In Budapest, a Bite at the Opera Culture and fine cuisine converge for guests at the Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace in Budapest-they can now dine on the stage of the Hungarian State Opera House while enjoying a private performance by opera singers and musicians. The Opera House, a neo-Renaissance building from the late 19th century, features a grand entrance, vaulted ceiling, marble detailing and a sweeping staircase. "It's among the best for acoustics in Europe," said Veronika Szabo, public relations manager of the hotel. Events can be customized, from the time of day, length and type of performance to the food served, which ranges from three-course meals to six- and seven-course tasting menus, all prepared by Leonardo Di Clemente, the executive chef of the hotel's Gresham Restaurant. "We usually recommend that guests try traditional Hungarian food," she said, "something that gives a taste of the local culture," like foie gras and pike perch, a fish from nearby Lake Balaton. The stage can accommodate an elegantly set table for a romantic dinner for two or large groups up to 400 people "if you want to entertain business partners," she said. Guests travel by limousine from the hotel to the opera house.
