International Theater Olympics in Budapest, Until 1 July
The 10th International Theatre Olympics opened in Budapest on Saturday, with concerts and street artists’ performances taking place in several venues on the Danube embankment.

As the flag of the three-month series of events was hoisted by the National Theatre building, Attila Vidnyánszky, artistic director of the festival and director of the National Theatre, said that “more than 100 institutions are realising this dream” after four years of preparations.

The 10th Theatre Olympics will feature 750 productions by 400 theatre, dance and puppet theatre troupes from 58 countries, with 7,500 performers.

The programmes will take place at almost 100 venues across the country until July 1.

Hungary Today

Launched online long after XpatLoop.com, this 'government-related' source states its aim is "to provide a complete, unbiased picture of Hungary”. However the site also says that this “does not necessarily mean that our writers do not have their own opinions,” which is useful for our readers to keep in mind. Another stated aim expressed is to become “the leading English-language news portal of Hungary”, which is a role that XpatLoop has successfully fulfilled independently for well over two decades. That noted, our team is open to occasionally sharing a useful Hungary Today article - with their permission of course - for the benefit of our readers.
