Győr’s Richter János Concert and Conference Hall is loading 2026–2027 with symphonies, musical showstoppers, hit comedies, and family favorites. The venue at 9021 Győr, Aradi Vértanúk útja 16 promises big sounds, bigger laughs, and plenty of drama across the next seasons, with the Győr Philharmonic anchoring the program and touring theater hits rolling through town.
Epic Symphonies to Kick Things Off
It starts intense. On Sunday, May 17, 2026, at 5:18 p.m., the Győr Philharmonic Orchestra performs Berlioz’s hallucinatory blockbuster Symphonie fantastique (op. 14), clocking in at 49 minutes, led by conductor Gábor Hontvári. The momentum keeps rolling Monday, May 18 at 7 p.m., when Hontvári returns with a deep-dive pairing: Schoenberg’s late-Romantic Verklärte Nacht (op. 4, 30 minutes), followed by Berlioz’s fever dream again for maximum impact.
Musicals, Megahits and One-Night-Only Magic
The Best of Musicals Győr stop lands Tuesday, May 19, 7 p.m., with Évi Sári, Géza Egyházi, and Péter Sándor belting through the greatest hits of the stage. Expect a parade of power numbers from The Phantom of the Opera (Operaház fantomja), Evita, Les Misérables (Nyomorultak), Cats (Macskák), Fame, Notre-Dame de Paris, Jekyll & Hyde, Chess (Sakk), and Dance of the Vampires (Vámpírok bálja). Running time: 100 minutes without intermission.
Freddie Lights the Fuse
On Saturday, May 30, 7 p.m., FREDDIE – LÉLEKBÚVÁR: Belső tűz (Inner Fire) leans into resilience and self-belief. “Sometimes it flickers, sometimes it roars.” Through songs, poems, and confessions, Freddie maps the spark that guides choices when darkness crowds in. The night before, Friday, May 29 at 7 p.m., the hall hosts Csoportterápia – mjuzikelkámedi (Group Therapy – musical comedy) in two parts, a fast-talking, heart-on-sleeve romp about six strangers—three men, three women—who show up for group therapy but can’t find the doctor. Cue identity quests, hairpin turns, and gag-a-minute revelations: an opera house ballerina with a secret, breath-holding in the icy Danube ten meters down, and the mystery of what really happened “in Venice in the summer of ’85.” Book and lyrics by Vajk Szente and Attila Galambos, music by Tamás Bolba, choreography by Gábor Bakó, music direction by László Nyitrai and László Vecsei, directed by Csaba Tasnádi. Cast includes Gyöngyi Molnár, Ádám Bálint, Andrea Balázs/Szandra Fejes/Piroska Kokas, Ferenc Tarlós/Mátyás Dósa/Gábor Krajnik-Balogh, Péter Harna/Balázs Nagy, Nelly Fésűs/Edina Csáki.
Farce Frenzy: Cooney Season Arrives

The premise: a London Hungarian, Róbert Szűcs, is drowning in benefits—unemployment, pension, sick pay, family allowance, disability, and yes, free cow’s milk—plus a sideline in nursing bras that rattles his wife. He decides it’s easier to ditch the fraudulent payouts than his freedom or marriage. Turns out, shedding benefits is harder than getting them. Cast features Iza Varga/Zsófia Kondákor, Ferenc Hujber, Imre Harmath/Ádám Gombás, Ádám Gombás/Zoli Kiss, Ganxsta Zolee, Anna Bugár/Zsófia Kondákor, Péter Sándor/Levente Hajdu, István Imre/Dávid Csányi, Orsolya György, Timi Stelczer.

Phones on the Table, Secrets in the Open
Thursday, October 8, 7 p.m., Vedd fel, ha mered! (Pick Up If You Dare!) adapts Paolo Genovese’s modern morality play into a breakneck, two-act comedy of friendship and betrayal. Seven friends, one dinner, and a dare: every call, message, and notification goes on speaker. The laughter curdles into tension as names on screens and ill-timed pings unravel façades. Cast includes Bernadett Fogarassy, Géza Egyházi, Zsuzsa Nyertes, Attila Csengeri/Sándor Várfi, Roland Czető, Viktória Magyar, Sándor Várfi/Attila Bodrogi.

Operetta Royalty and Family Favorites
Saturday, October 24, 7 p.m.: Csárdáskirálynő (The Csárdás Princess) sweeps in with love across class lines and a family’s scheming. Sylva, the famed csárdás star, bids farewell on the orfeum stage while her lover, Prince Edwin, vows to follow her to America. But a military summons, a meddling count, and a notary’s rushed promise flip the table.

Advent with Kaláka
Sunday, November 29, 4 p.m., KALÁKA – Szabad-e bejönni ide Betlehemmel? weaves caroling tradition with music and poetry. The beloved ensemble’s Christmas concert frames the evening with the question that closes old door-to-door nativity verses: “May we come in with Bethlehem?” A warm, candlelit start to Advent.
New Year, More Cooney
The Cooney wave crests into 2027. Saturday, January 2, 7 p.m.: Ray Cooney’s Kölcsönlakás (Out of Order–style bedroom-farce energy) declares, “Tonight, morality is on holiday.” One borrowed flat, too many keys, and a chain reaction of slammed doors, jealous spouses, and improvising lovers.

A young, high-flying minister, Richard Willey, plans a tryst with the opposition’s secretary at a stately hotel—until a body turns up at the window. From there: a frantic aide, a suspicious manager, a meddling head waiter, a worried wife, a domineering nurse, and a jealous husband.
