Film Club Jim Sharman: Rocky Horror Picture Show, Palace of Arts Budapest, 13 April
- 13 Apr 2026 6:30 PM
- contemporary
We have made an exception in this case and will be admitting viewers even if they haven’t brought any rice, candles, newspapers or toilet paper to the screening. In fact, we’ll even let you in without wearing one of the costumes popular among hard-core devotees of The Rocky Horror Show.
The musical that inspired the film had already gained its own cult following in theatres as early as 1973. ...
Horváth Renátó Production: Ady&Léda, National Dance Theatre Budapest, 8 March
- 8 Mar 2026 2:00 PM
- contemporary
Two misunderstood people starved for love who in their own way have taken on a role to protect themselves from disappointment. However, neither of them could have imagined that on that particular day in Oradea, their meeting would lead to a new and passionate romance... one that would sweep them both away and shake Hungarian literature to its very foundations.
The performance is a ...
Mupa Film Club: Emir Kusturica - Life Is a Miracle, Palace of Arts, 9 February
- 9 Feb 2026 6:30 PM
- contemporary
In 2024, Emir Kusturica & The No Smoking Orchestra returned to perform at Müpa Budapest. The night was one big party. Was it what we would call folk punk? Balkan rollicking?
Categories are meaningless. Kusturica is very consistent in his use of music in his films. (Sometimes the songs even become hits.) In this case, he wrote them himself.
The story takes place in the early ’90s, during ...
The Scarlet Letter, National Dance Theatre Budapest, 31 January

Ballet Company of Győr has prepared another two act, full-length ballet for the 2017/18 season. They have undertaken the challenge of adapting American author, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s classic, The Scarlet Letter, to ballet for the first time.
Hawthorne was a key figure in 19th century American literature. He wrote his first novel, The Scarlet Letter, when he was 46, in 1850, and it was an ...
La Bohème Opera Performance, Opera Budapest, 26 December
- 26 Dec 2025 6:30 PM
- classical
Opera in three parts, four acts, in Italian, with Hungarian, English, and Italian subtitles.
Some operas are legendary. None more so than Puccini's work telling the tale of young bohemians in Paris, in which one of the most beautiful romances in operatic literature begins with a burnt-out candle and a misplaced key.
There are also legendary opera productions, such as this one directed by ...
Mupa Film Club: Music Till Death Do Us Part, Palace of Arts Budapest, 17 November
- 17 Nov 2025 1:49 PM
- contemporary
First there was The Graduate (1967) and then there was the rest of the graduate’s life. The story of a one-night stand set in 1962, George Lucas’s second film was nominated for five Oscars, including those for best film, best director and best screenplay.
This is a special road movie as its young protagonists do not make it out onto the open highway – they cruise around town. The dramaturgy ...
Giacomo Puccini, Schicchi 2.0, Opera House Budapest, 16 October
- 16 Oct 2025 2:00 PM
- classical
We can safely say that Gianni Schicchi is one of the most entertaining comic works of opera literature, which stands out even in the opera oeuvre of Giacomo Puccini with its wittiness.
Ingenious moments chase one another both in the vocal and orchestral parts, and also through the text and the incredibly funny situations.
Not many works dare to apply the black, nay morbid humour that ...
Mupa Film Club: Richard Lester: Help, Palace of Arts Budapest, 22 September
- 22 Sep 2025 7:00 PM
- contemporary
“Rock n’ Roll? It will be gone by June,” wrote Variety Magazine in 1955. That didn’t age well. It happens. In 1962, a record company from Hamburg made little fuss of parting company with a new band that would be playing in front of rabid crowds in Great Britain just a year later.
It had something to do with beetles... By 1964, the film A Hard Day’s Night with its four strange mushroom-headed ...
