Budapest Dance Theatre: Wonderful World, National Dance Theatre, 3 June

- contemporary
The curtain rises, soft jazz music plays in the dim, smoke-filled light. The sound of a solo trumpet instantly captivates everyone in the bar. It is night-time. We can barely discern the figures in the dim light, and yet they tell us that even though they are physically present, their thoughts and spirits have already wandered far away under the spell of the music.
The various characters ...

Puccini's Tosca, Opera House Budapest, 17 February
- 17 Feb 2026 12:47 PM
- classical
The point of Puccini's Tosca is not that it is set in Rome or in the summer of 1800. The dilemmas, emotions, and shocking plot twists make the piece interesting.
Equally important to the story is the frame of a totalitarian regime where the chief of police can do as he pleases: he can capture without warrant, unlawfully torture, imprison without trial, and execute without verdict whomever he ...

Ballet Pécs: Carmen, National Dance Theatre Budapest, 30 September
- 30 Sep 2025 7:00 PM
- classical
Carmen is the symbol of freedom. Her story is the drama of inextinguishable, uninhibited love.
"Carmen\'s story, the characters\' world of extreme emotions and Bizet\'s music is very powerful and inspiring. For me, the main inspiration comes from the sharp shifts between the story and the music. I find the characters\' unpredictability and their explosive tempers, which are the result of ...
Premier Dávid Somló The Smallest Passage, Trafó Budapest, 26 & 27 September
- 26 Sep 2025 9:00 PM
- contemporary
Who is balancing whom? Dávid Somló explores the utopian potential of quiet, nonverbal ways of being together.
Originating from a profound experience, the performance is a minimalist movement meditation practice exploring collective presence through a single shared gesture: balancing an ordinary twig on the tiniest point of one’s knuckle.
This radically simple act invites care, sensitivity, ...
