Solo dos años después de unirse al Teatro Húngaro de Pest como su director (que fue solo unos meses después de que se estableció), el joven Ferenc Erkel montó su propia ópera, Bátori Mária, la primera compuesta para un libreto húngaro y que efectivamente transformó el teatro en un símbolo nacional. Sin embargo, la obra en sí todavía no encajaba en la categoría de nacional, ni en su tema ni en su música. Impulsando la aceleración de los acontecimientos en la vida teatral húngara, allanó el camino para la próxima ópera de Erkel, Hunyadi László, basada en un libreto del escritor, actor y compositor contemporáneo Béni Egressy. Fue con esta obra que por fin nació el drama musical húngaro. El texto de Hunyadi László se centra en un momento trágico de la historia húngara, capturado a través del destino de la familia Hunyadi y que dio a la nación un héroe de significación europea por su papel en las guerras contra los otomanos. László Hunyadi no triunfa; espera, sueña y sufre, y su anhelo de felicidad e independencia tocó una fibra sensible con una nación que había estado viviendo bajo el yugo de potencias extranjeras durante 300 años. Para 1884, la obra había sido representada un asombroso 250 veces en el Teatro Nacional, y su material musical y las inserciones posteriores tal como se representaron en la época de la estreno permanecieron en uso hasta 1927. Después de 1935 fue grandemente revisado, su libreto modernizado y las escenas reducidas a tres actos. Esta grabación de 2012 dirigida por el entonces recién nombrado director musical de la Ópera Estatal Húngara Domonkos Héja, quien ha hecho mucho para promover la música del gran compositor nacional del país, ve a los intérpretes regresar a la versión original, que, a pesar de su estilo arcaico y a menudo criticado torpeza, habla de una manera más auténtica sobre la época que creó la ópera nacional y hizo de Hunyadi László una parte integral de la identidad de los espectadores húngaros.
