Salem, We Remain, National Dance Theatre Budapest, 27 April
- 27 Apr 2026 7:00 PM
- contemporary
The Salem witch trials of the 17th century appear in this performance not as historical reconstruction, but as a form of resonance. The starting point is the fate of three real women, condemned and destroyed by a social order that could not tolerate deviance: a different body, a different behaviour, a different rhythm. The play explores how these forces are still at work today—how a community ...
Ballet: Swan Lake, Opera House Budapest, 25 April
- 25 Apr 2026 6:00 PM
- classical
Tchaikovsky’s first ballet is the most beloved classical piece in ballet literature: while the hardships of love between a prince forced into marriage and a maiden enchanted into the form of a swan is one of the most charming Russian romantic fairy tales, the piece nevertheless failed at its original premiere in 1877.
The choreographers creating the premiere were simply not equal to ...
Argentine Tango Dance Play: Existence, National Dance Theatre Budapest, 18 April
- 18 Apr 2026 7:00 PM
- contemporary
EXISTENCE is a tango dance theatre work that follows along the journey of human life — from the drifting impetus of youth to the quiet insight of old age. This journey is born in the tango, in the intimacy of the embrace, through the deep connection between the soul and the body.
The play is not the story of one man. It is the story of each of us — all of us carry the same questions, just in ...

Budapest Dance Theatre: Quattro Stagioni, National Dance Theatre Budapest, 15 April

- contemporary
This contemporary dance performance explores the four seasons, observing the transformation of humanity and nature. When we think of nature, we think of plants, animals, the elements of the environment...
Nature is very diverse in its presence: it is dormant and awake, strong and always renewing itself. The seasons are both subtle and very deep. They consist of their own rhythmic cycles, ...
Carl Off: Carmina Burana, Opera House Budapest, 12 April
- 12 Apr 2026 11:00 AM
- classical
O Fortuna. Everyone knows the overwhelmingly powerful opening motifs of Carl Orff's most famous work. What fewer people know is that Carmina Burana was not intended to be an oratorical work, but was instead expressly meant for the stage.
This becomes clear from the piece's (originally Latin) subtitle: “Secular songs for singers and chorus to be sung together with instruments and magical ...
Ballet Company of Győr & State Folk Ensemble, National Concert Hall, 8 April
- 8 Apr 2026 7:30 PM
- contemporary
Over the past few years, the compelling multi-arts productions of the Pure Source series have looked at the music Béla Bartók collected in Turkey, the connections between folk and baroque music, and Bartók’s influence on jazz.
These were artistic demonstrations of how Bartók’s collection of folk music has been critical for the work that subsequent generations have carried out for the ...
Yvette Bozsik Company: The Inner Child, National Dance Theatre Budapest, 7 April

- contemporary
Kossuth Prize winner Yvette Bozsik’s new production explores, through the lenses of three choreographers, the three phases of man’s psychological and intellectual development, some defining life events that are associated with three different ages.
As it represents inner processes, the dance drama is centred around the possibility of exposing and analysing one’s own childlike self, its ...

The titular character of Marco Goecke’s production is Vaslav Nijinsky (1890–1950), the iconic genius of modern dance. The play evokes the most important moments in the life of the dancer and choreographer, both on and off the stage.
Nijinsky was the solo dancer of Sergei Diaghilev’s legendary Ballets Russes for ten years. He enchanted audiences with virtuosic leaps and an androgynous ...
