- bar musical -<\/p>

librettp: P\u00e9ter Kalm\u00e1r
music by P\u00e9ter Wolf
lyrics by J\u00e1nos Br\u00f3dy<\/p>

The last pub in Pest is about to close - it will be replaced by a Chinese fast-food restaurant.
\nAnd there, a bar pianist is rarely needed.
\nThe last bar pianist in Pest plays his farewell song for the last time:<\/p>

Just give me one more minute, God,
\nTo see clearly what has happened to me,
\nWhat your plan was and where I went wrong,
\nWhy did you stand by me and why did you leave me?<\/p>

Fortunately, in the Pest night, true life begins after closing time...\n...where a young man, who is none other than the old man\nof the old pianist, but he searches in vain for the Beverly Hills swimming pool\nand Playboy bunnies - he can't find them.<\/p>

...where a young American girl of Hungarian descent arrives,
\nto find her roots, and when she finally does,
\nshe doesn't want any, so she goes back instea<\/p>

...where, among the many unpaid bills, a registration form falls out
\nfor a bar pianist competition with a prize of 10 million forints,
\notherwise known as the last chance.<\/p>

...where an old love is rekindled but can no longer be fulfilled.<\/p>

...where an old comrade turns out not to have been - but to be.<\/p>

...where nothing is what it seems,
\nbut in the end, everything turns upside down,
\nlike the bar stools when closing time comes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
