 | | Hunyadi László is the second most famous opera by Ferenc Erkel, after Bank Ban, which is popular enough in Hungary to have had its third movie version a year or so ago. |
 | | This may be a nod to Soviet friends, but it is also a fair positioning of Erkel, to judge from Hunyadi László, a historical drama that depicts the treachery and pain before the enlightened reign of Matthias Corvinus, who appears in the opera as the sparky teenager Matyás. |
