Győr’s Richter János Concert and Conference Hall at 9021 Győr, 16 Aradi Vértanúk útja, packs the 2026–2027 season with symphonic blockbusters, operettas, big-name comedies, jazz, and family shows. From Liszt and Wagner to Ray Cooney farces and the evergreen The Csárdás Princess (Csárdáskirálynő), it’s a high-energy calendar designed for fans of quality entertainment, all in the heart of Győr.
Orchestra Nights Without Words
May opens with Szavak nélkül on Thursday, May 7, 7:00 p.m., featuring the Győr Philharmonic Orchestra (Győri Filharmonikus Zenekar). The program pairs Liszt’s Les Préludes, S.97 (16″) with a rare symphonic treat: Wagner’s The Ring Without Words in the Lorin Maazel arrangement (70″). Christoph Koncz conducts, sculpting a sweeping narrative arc from Wagner’s leitmotifs without a single sung line.
Inside the Actor’s Workshop
On Friday, May 8, 7:00 p.m., actor and director Pál Mácsai opens the door to his creative workshop. Why does an actor say a text—and why like that? He lays out the tools of the trade—memories, sounds, ideas—through poems by Arany, Petőfi, Ady, Babits, Kosztolányi, Karinthy, Dsida, Attila József, Radnóti, Villon–Faludy, Nemes Nagy, Pilinszky, Ottó Orbán, Petri, Parti Nagy, and István Kemény, filtered through his own voice and eye.
Jazz Tuesdays and a Symphonic Fever Dream
Tuesday, May 12, 7:00 p.m. marks JazzKEDD/4 with Koszika & Sárik Péter Trió, a sleek, contemporary jazz set. Then it’s Berlioz time: Fantasztikus szimfónia arrives on Sunday, May 17, 5:18 p.m., with the Győr Philharmonic Orchestra performing Symphonie fantastique, op. 14 (49″) under conductor Gábor Hontvári.
Transfigured Night, Transfixed Audience
Hontvári returns Monday, May 18, 7:00 p.m. for an intense late-Romantic double: Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht, op. 4 (30″) and Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique, op. 14 (49″). The back-to-back journey moves from moonlit confession to opium-dream delirium—a high-drama symphonic one-two punch.
Musicals’ Greatest Hits, One Night Only
Best of Musicals Győr lands Tuesday, May 19, 7:00 p.m., starring Évi Sári, Géza Egyházi, and Péter Sándor. Expect a 100-minute, no-interval parade of favorites from The Phantom of the Opera, Evita, Les Misérables, Cats, Fame, Notre-Dame de Paris, Jekyll & Hyde, Chess, and Dance of the Vampires (Tanz der Vampire). Pure singalong bliss.
Freddie’s Inner Fire
On Saturday, May 30, 7:00 p.m., FREDDIE presents LÉLEKBÚVÁR – Belső tűz, a concert-talk hybrid on motivation and resilience. Sometimes that inner flame flickers; sometimes it roars. Freddie traces his own sparks through songs, poems, and reflections, inviting the audience to find—and trust—their own light.
Group Therapy, Musical Comedy Mayhem
Friday, May 29, 7:00 p.m., Győr’s Richter Hall hosts a musical comedy in two acts: six strangers—three men, three women—turn up for group therapy. Small hitch: where’s the doctor? Cue revelations, runaway gags, and detours from a ballet soloist’s hang-ups to surviving 33 feet under the icy Danube without scuba gear, and a mystery from Venice, summer of ’85. Music by Tamás Bolba; book and lyrics by Vajk Szente and Attila Galambos. Directed by Csaba Tasnádi, with choreography by Gábor Bakó and music direction by László Nyitrai and László Vecsei. Cast includes Gyöngyi Molnár, Ádám Bálint, Andrea Balázs/ Szandra Fejes/ Piroska Kokas, Ferenc Tarlós/ Mátyás Dósa/ Gábor Krajnik-Balogh, Péter Harna/ Balázs Nagy, and Nelly Fésűs/ Edina Csáki. Location: Győr, Richter Hall.
Bigamy in a Tailspin
Ray Cooney’s Run for Your Wife (Páratlan páros) crash-lands on Sunday, May 31, 7:00 p.m. John Smith, a taxi driver, keeps two wives—Mary in Wimbledon and Barbara in Richmond—juggling lives four and a half minutes apart. A hospital slip-up blows his cover, police swarm, and John sprints between doors to keep the secrets from toppling. Directed by Csaba Horváth, translated and with dramaturgy by Albert Benedek.

Michael Cooney’s Nicsak, ki lakik itt?! (Thursday, June 11, 7:00 p.m.) is a two-act madhouse, revived in 2025 by Bánfalvy Stúdió. A London-based Hungarian, Róbert Szűcs, drowning in benefits—unemployment, old-age pension, sick pay, family allowance, disability payments, and even free cow’s milk—decides it’s easier to ditch the illicit support than his wife or freedom. Easier said than done. Directed by Csaba Horváth; translation and new version by Albert Benedek with Oliver W. Horvath and HCS.
