For the first time in the Hungarian history of the operetta and musical, the opening of a new musical by world famous American authors could be seen on the stage of the Budapest Operetta Theatre and the Szeged Open-Air Festival!
“In this classical musical the audience witnesses a historical drama following the idea of rebellion, all this interpreted by excellent soloists. Besides the elegant ball dances, grandiose scenes, the spectacular and realistic Prater scene and the waltz of the noble crowd like visionary demons are also worth attention.”

Csokonai Theatre, Debrecen: Leonard Bernstein – West Side Story

Szergej Maszlobojscsikov, the director of the performance does not intend to present the young couple’s tragic story as a banal melodrama. He depicts characters that, wandering on the borderline of reality and imagination, are inserted in the myth of old movies, while trying to escape the emptiness of life. Their conflicts are moved by hatred born out of fear, which does lead to a tragedy in the end, but humor and the youngsters’ natural love of life is constantly present on the stage told with the help of spectacular dances, singing and music.

Chicago is the city of crime. At the end of the 1920’s criminals, robbers and gangsters living here outnumbered honest citizens. The prohibition of alcohol started a chain reaction that not only made being uncorrupted impossible, but also a luxury. There is only one way to stand out of this milieu, and that is with the help of the media.

Budapest Operetta Theatre: Alan Menken-The Beauty and the Beast
≡ Category: Theater Works | ⇒ Leave a Comment
In the past 13 years, The Beauty and the Beast has captivated audiences across the world.
“It is a wonderful and magical tale, with music so perfectly composed that it almost dictated the choreography. Let me add, that it is quite a unique experience to teach glasses, forks and plates the dance moves of an almost 10 minute long variety show, then fix the following day’s rehearsals with a commode, a cheeky candelabra and a clock.
