VÍG-BUDAPEST CONCERT
Let's celebrate Budapest's 150th birthday together with an exclusive gala concert at the Vígszínház!
Countless great and popular songs have been written about the wonderful Budapest. Who hasn't heard songs about the old Buda linden trees, the women of Pest, the moonlit night on the Danube, the Liget, Józsefváros, or even that particular boathouse on the banks of the Danube? These deservedly successful hits capture the everyday life, joys, sorrows, moods, and small events of the former inhabitants of our capital, and that is what the history of a city is made of, not just the great historical turning points.
Schedule
The company of the Vígszínház invites its audience on a musical journey through time. On the wings of songs known and rediscovered from the evocation of old Pest-Buda, we fly through the shared history of the city and the Vígszínház, with the help of great composers such as Imre Kálmán, Béla Zerkovitz, Mihály Eisemann, Szabolcs Fényes, Gábor Presser, before arriving at GRUND, touching on the Budapest of Tamás Cseh.
Vígszínház
The Vígszínház is one of the most historic and popular theatres in Budapest. Its three venues (the Main Stage, the House Stage Studio and Chamber, the Pest Theatre) have a total of more than 1700 seats. The theatre is also known as the cradle of modern Hungarian bourgeois drama, with famous authors such as Jenő Heltai, Sándor Bródy, Dezső Szomory, Menyhért Lengyel, Ernő Szép, Sándor Hunyady, Ferenc Herczeg, and others. In the 21st century, the majority of the world's theatres with large auditoriums have lost a good part of their audience. Despite this trend, the premieres of the Vígszínház are successful, and its performances are well attended. The theatre is located on the Újlipótváros side of Szent István körút in Budapest.
