Dr. Richárd Schwab takes the stage on Thursday, January 29, 2026, at 7:00 PM with a straight-talking deep dive into functional digestive disorders and the microbiome. If you’re dealing with stubborn stomach troubles but every test has come back “negative,” or you haven’t seen a specialist yet and want to know which screenings actually matter, this is for you. The evening unpacks why classic workups sometimes show nothing while symptoms rage on—and what else might be driving them.
First, rule out the serious stuff
Part 1, led by Dr. Dávid Oroszi, is all about exclusion: which organic diseases must be ruled out first, what screening and diagnostic steps are essential, and how this pathway works at the Erzsébet Baths Medical Group (Erzsébet Fürdő Gyógyászati Cégcsoport). It’s a practical guide whether you’ve already seen a gastroenterologist and still feel lousy, or you’re just starting the process and want a clear, smart plan.
When tests are normal, look to the microbiome
Part 2 is Dr. Schwab’s beat: the cutting edge on the gut microbiome’s composition and function, the gut barrier’s integrity, and visceral hypersensitivity—how these connect to IBS and other functional complaints. Expect a clear, accessible tour of why you can have very real symptoms even when structural exams are completely normal.
Who should go?
Anyone who’s done the rounds but still has symptoms. Anyone kicking off diagnostics and wanting to know which screenings to choose. And anyone curious about modern digestive science and the real drivers behind functional disorders. The promise: an informative, hands-on, up-to-date talk that finally makes the gut-health puzzle add up.
Kálmán’s world, reborn in operetta
On Friday, January 30, 2026, at 6:00 PM, it’s Imre Kálmán – Zsolt Meskó: Te rongyos élet… (You Ragged Life…), or “My Imre Kálmán!”—an operetta in two acts, the second nationwide premiere from Mosoly Muzsika Produkció. A new Hungarian operetta salutes the “Operetta King” with flair and mischief. The heroes: a bashful genius, a fearless actress, and a dresser who sees and knows everything. At the center is Imre Kálmán himself—human, fallible, and gloriously timeless—his singular fate brought to life with humor and passion. Behind-the-scenes secrets meet sparkling comedy as Kálmán’s greatest hits shine anew.
Cast: Dresser — Ibolya Nagy; Secretary — Attila Csengeri / Csaba Jegercsik; Liczi — Dorka Pacskó / Elvira Haraszti / Csenge Bégány. Directed by László Hajdú. Running time: 2 hours 15 minutes with one intermission. Motto: Hungarian operetta’s past is our heritage; its future, our responsibility—built with dignity, humor, and love.
Vivaldi by candlelight
Saturday, January 31, 2026, at 7:00 PM brings VIVALDI THE FOUR SEASONS — A CANDLELIGHT CONCERT. A string quartet sweeps the room into Vivaldi’s elemental cycle—spring’s freshness, summer’s thrill, autumn’s calm, winter’s glittering bite—under the glow of hundreds of candles. Music and light weave a charged, unforgettable atmosphere.
Eric Chappell’s Spanyol hátha (Heatstroke)
Sunday, February 1, 2026, at 2:00 PM, two English gentlemen descend on a Spanish villa: one with his wife, Fay; the other—aging TV actor Howard—with Dodie, twenty years his junior. It’s meant to be a long, lazy weekend in their boss’s supposedly empty luxury pad on the south coast—until Detective Raynor and a gangster named Dog also turn up. Three identical bags, all packed with very different contents, spark a chain of gloriously chaotic mix-ups.
Cast: Sam Spencer — Balázs Mihályfi; Fay Spencer — Gerda Pikali; Howard Green — Endre Beleznay; Dodie — Dorka Gáspárfalvi; Raynor or maybe Dog — Dániel Suhajda; Raynor or maybe Dog — Zoltán Barabás Kiss / Zoltán Kiss. Directed by Endre Beleznay; assistant director Kriszta Kiss. Recording audio or video is strictly forbidden. Program subject to change.
Love, lies, and swing at sea
Friday, February 6, 2026, at 7:00 PM, we’re in New York, 1938, aboard the luxury liner La Paz en route to Monte Carlo. A workaholic young businesswoman collides headlong with a charming adventurer. Add: Tony’s feckless aristocrat fiancé, a brutal wife and her trembling husband, a dithering secretary saved twice by a Tibetan singing bowl, and Tony’s life-loving mother determined to pass for a decade younger than her daughter. Everyone’s running from something—or someone. Big money’s in play, hearts get volleyed like beach balls, and the ship throbs with swing, the blood-pumping soundtrack of jazz’s golden age.
Symphonic seasons
The Miskolc Symphony Orchestra anchors two subscriptions: Capriccio 2025/26 on Monday, February 9, 2026, at 7:00 PM and Thursday, April 23, 2026, at 7:00 PM; and Maestro 2025/26 on Monday, February 16, 2026, at 7:00 PM and into March.
Notary upstairs, chaos everywhere
Wednesday, February 11, 2026, at 7:00 PM: Levente Moravetz’s The Notary Upstairs (Közjegyző az emeleten) — a comedy. Producer Andrea Moravetz-Somogyvári. Cast: Dániel Suhajda, Csekka Gyebnár, Zoltán Szőke, Csaba László, Veronika Madár, Ádám Gombás. It all unravels at a baffling info board: everyone’s hunting the notary—Kálmán Szabó (Zoltán Szőke)—who seems always elsewhere, or not who he seems. The notary drafts and signs contracts, declarations, certificates; his office is upstairs, the sign is outside, and the visitors keep coming: Lola, Aunt Rozi, Carmen, the Widow, the shape-shifting actress, the client, the primary producer, Móric, and Sanyi Dobránszki. Yet nobody is where they should be, or who they claim to be. Solution? Watch the show. Two hours of laughter, no law degree required—though judges, prosecutors, and notaries will have a blast too.
Truth, lies, and everything in between
Thursday, February 12, 2026, at 7:00 PM: Barefaced Truth, or You’ve Got to Know How to Lie! (Szemenszedett igazság, avagy hazudni tudni kell!), a two-part comedy from Pesti Művész Színház. Cast: Michel — Géza Egyházi; Alice — Bernadett Fogarassy; Paul — Sándor Várfi; Laurence — Zsuzsa Nyertes. Sets by Péter G. Halász; costumes by Mária Reidinger; translation by György Baráthy; director András Márton. Alice is Michel’s lover. They’ve been meeting for months at a hotel—both are married, and Alice’s husband happens to be Michel’s best friend. Michel starts lying “for everyone’s sake,” at first with relish, then with panic. Lies flood their lives like a faucet left running. Do they get away with it? Running time: 90 minutes.
Milestones and mic drops
Saturday, February 14, 2026, at 7:00 PM: Kökény 50 — a concert with Attila Kökény and Viktor Rakonczai. The next night, Sunday, February 15, 2026, at 6:00 PM: Can I Be Honest? (Lehetek őszinte?) — Péter Elek’s new Dumaszínház stand-up special. Think relationship mind games, selective honesty, good taste vs. bad, and music. Nothing’s off-limits; if problems can’t be solved, at least we’ll laugh at them—halfway to a fix, right? Dynamic pricing in effect.
And next up
The Miskolc Symphony’s Maestro subscription continues Monday, February 16, 2026, at 7:00 PM and rolls into March. Keep your evenings open.
