Kickoff: Charlie Brings the Heat
2026.06.21. — Charlie concert
Hungarian pop-rock and jazz-blues icon Charlie (Horváth Charlie) opens the season with that unmistakable rasp and rich, brass-backed groove.

The anthems are very much on the setlist—from Ice with Double Ice (Jég dupla jéggel) to Look to the Sky (Nézz az ég felé)—songs generations belt out with him, shoulder to shoulder.
Comedy of Manners, Neil Simon-Style
2026.07.03. — Neil Simon: Rumors (Pletykafészek), a two-act farce
Let the gossip fly. Simon’s high-society chaos machine sets the upper crust spinning with misunderstandings, fibs, and flamboyant cover-ups. Your job? Sit back, follow the tangled whispers, and enjoy the elegant bedlam unraveling among the upper-crust elite who just can’t stay out of trouble.

The beloved cornerstone of Hungarian literature lands with a sharper edge. Here it’s a clash not of children but of young people, turning the screws on the drama. Today’s musical sound and lyrics push the intensity higher, as the show leans on the acoustic presence of everyday objects, the cast’s rhythmic chops, humor, youthful power, and the original’s cathartic punch. The effect is rawer, louder, and insistently alive, night after night.

Geszti’s Pop-Positive Power
2026.07.19. — Péter Geszti concert
The ringleader of good vibes raids his songbook for Rapülők’s stadium-busting dance hits, Jazz+Az’s funk, and the pop pleasures of Gringó Sztár and Létvágy. It’s live, loud, and technically splashy, laced with humor and straight-talking lyrics built to move a summer crowd.
