1 The Ferenc Erkel Operas Critical Edition, a worthy and woefully underfunded project, has suffered from many delays. Of Erkel’s nine operas only the first three have been published, including his two most famous: Hunyadi László (1844) and Bánk bán (1861). The fourth and fifth volumes are still in progress (the official information on the series’ website is out of date: www.zti.hu/erkel/text_en.htm), and there is no clear date for the publication of the remaining four operas, including István király. My thanks to Balázs Mikusi for this update.
