January 2026 Highlights
On 2026.01.03, Magyarock Dalszínház brings VALAHOL EURÓPÁBAN (Somewhere in Europe) to Komárom, the beloved musical drawn from postwar tales of survival and solidarity. The following night, 2026.01.04, Fenyő Miklós – Tasnádi István’s MADE IN HUNGÁRIA hits the stage in two acts, a high-energy jukebox journey through rock ’n’ roll dreams, swagger, and bittersweet nostalgia.
Season Scope
Across the calendar, nine productions are slated, balancing blockbuster musicals, local favorites, and crowd-pleasing revivals. Summer nights unfold under the sky among the fort’s monumental walls, while the colder months move seamlessly indoors to Klapka Arena (KlapkAréna), keeping the vibe alive without the chill.

Pros
+
Family-friendly vibe with big, singalong-style musicals that teens and grandparents can both enjoy
+
Open-air summer shows inside a dramatic 19th‑century fort make for a unique backdrop you won’t get at typical theaters
+
Indoor move to the heated Klapka Arena in colder months means your plans aren’t ruined by weather
+
Easy weekend add‑on if you’re already in Budapest/Bratislava/Vienna—Komárom is reachable by train or car in about 1–1.5 hours from Budapest and close to the Slovak border
+
Hungarian theater culture is strong, so you’ll see local hits like Made in Hungária performed with real energy and polish
+
The fort itself is a lesser-known gem, so you’ll dodge the mega‑tourist crowds and get more local flavor
+
Ticket demand is high but prices are typically lower than Broadway/West End, giving good value
- Most shows are in Hungarian; non‑speakers will miss plot details unless supertitles or English guides are offered
Cons
–
Komárom and Monostori Fort aren’t internationally famous, so planning info in English can be patchy and dates may change
–
Public transport is fine but not ultra‑frequent late at night; driving offers flexibility but parking and navigation around the fort can be tricky
–
Compared with big international festivals, the lineup is smaller and more local—great charm, but fewer globally known titles or star names
