Digestive Health, Demystified

Dr. Richárd Schwab: Functional Gastrointestinal Diseases and the Microbiome
January 29, 2026, Thursday, 7:00 PM
Still dealing with digestive issues even though every test has come back “negative”? Not sure which screenings you need or where to start? This two-part, plain-language medical evening tackles the questions behind stubborn symptoms that standard exams can’t explain.
Part 1 – The Power of Exclusion: How to make sure there’s no structural disease
Speaker: Dr. Dávid Oroszi
– Which organic diseases must be ruled out first
– What screening and diagnostic steps are necessary
– How the process works at the Erzsébet Bath Medical Group (Erzsébet Fürdő Gyógyászati Cégcsoport)
Part 2 – When everything’s excluded: microbiome, gut barrier, and visceral hypersensitivity
Speaker: Dr. Richárd Schwab
A tour through cutting-edge research on gut microbiome composition and function, barrier dysfunction, visceral hypersensitivity, and how these tie into IBS and other functional complaints. Designed for anyone who has already seen a gastroenterologist without relief, those starting workups now, and the curious who want a modern, science-based understanding of digestion.

Imre Kálmán, Reimagined

Imre Kálmán – Zsolt Meskó: Te rongyos élet… (You Ragged Life…)
January 30, 2026, Friday, 6:00 PM
A brand-new Hungarian operetta in two acts, a national premiere that salutes the “Operetta King” Imre Kálmán with riotous humor and tender humanity. At its center: a bashful genius, an all‑in actress, and an all-seeing dresser. The production peeks behind seductive theater curtains while showing a world-famous composer as both timeless and touchingly flawed. Expect Kálmán’s greatest hits in a fresh glow.
Cast: Dresser – Ibolya Nagy (Déryné Award); Secretary – Attila Csengeri (eMeRTon Award) / Csaba Jegercsik (Farkas–Ratkó Award); Liczi – Dorka Pacskó / Elvira Haraszti / Csenge Bégány. Director: László Hajdú. Production: Mosoly Muzsika Produkció, National Premiere II. Running time: 2 hours 15 minutes, one intermission. Motto: The past of Hungarian operetta is our heritage; its future is our responsibility—with dignity, humor, and love.

Vivaldi by Candlelight

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons – Candlelit Concert
January 31, 2026, Saturday, 7:00 PM
Hundreds of candles. A string quartet. Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons sweeping from spring’s brightness through summer’s joy, autumn’s calm, and winter’s glacial glitter. The fusion of sound and soft light turns a concert into a full‑body memory you won’t forget.

Suitcases, Secrets, and Spanish Heat

Eric Chappell: Spanyol hátha (Heatstroke)
February 1, 2026, Sunday, 2:00 PM
Two English gentlemen hit a lavish villa on Spain’s southern coast for a long weekend—one with his wife, Fay; the other, aging TV actor Howard, with his girlfriend Dodie, 20 years younger. Enter a detective named Raynor, a gangster called Dog, and three look‑alike suitcases stuffed with completely different things. Chaos ensues, hilariously.
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. Director: Endre Beleznay. Assistant: Kriszta Kiss. Recording video or audio is strictly forbidden. Program subject to change.

Jazz, Swing, and Schemes at Sea

February 6, 2026, Friday, 7:00 PM
New York, 1938. Aboard the luxury ship La Paz en route to Monte Carlo, a hardened young workaholic businesswoman collides with a charming adventurer. The cast of characters dazzles: Tony’s degenerate-aristocrat fiancé, a brutal wife and her terrified husband, a dithering secretary twice transformed by a Tibetan singing bowl, and Tony’s unstoppable mother trying to look at least ten years younger than her own daughter. Everyone’s chasing or fleeing something. Money’s in play, hearts get volleyed, and swing reigns as jazz’s golden age thunders across the deck.

Symphonic Highlights

Capriccio Season Ticket 2025/26 – Miskolc Symphony Orchestra
February 9, 2026, Monday, 7:00 PM
April 23, 2026, Thursday, 7:00 PM
A double fixture for orchestral lovers, anchoring the season with the Miskolc Symphony Orchestra (Miskolci Szimfonikus Zenekar).

Notary Upstairs: Legal Laughs

Levente Moravetz: Notary Upstairs (Közjegyző az emeleten) – comedy
February 11, 2026, Wednesday, 7:00 PM
Producer: Andrea Moravetz–Somogyvári
Cast: Dániel Suhajda, Csekka Gyebnár, Zoltán Szőke, Csaba László, Veronika Madár, Ádám Gombás
It starts with a baffling info board and spirals from there: everyone’s searching for notary Kálmán Szabó (Zoltán Szőke), who’s either always elsewhere or not who he seems. The show mirrors the murkiness of legal tangles—but this time, nothing should be taken seriously. Expect Lola, Aunt Rozi, Carmen the Widow, a chameleonic actress, a client, a farmer, Móric, and Sanyi Dobránszki all hunting the elusive notary upstairs. Two hours of cascading misunderstandings and constant laughter, no law degree required—though judges, prosecutors, and notaries will have a ball too.

Truth, Lies, and Damage Control

Barefaced Truth, or You Have to Know How to Lie! (Szemenszedett igazság, avagy hazudni tudni kell!)
February 12, 2026, Thursday, 7:00 PM
Pesti Művész Színház comedy in two parts.
Cast: MICHEL – Géza Egyházi; ALICE – Bernadett Fogarassy; PAUL – Sándor Várfi; LAURENCE – Zsuzsa Nyertes. Sets: Péter G. Halász. Costumes: Mária Reidinger. Translator: György Baráthy. Director: András Márton.
Michel and Alice are lovers, sneaking off to a hotel for months while both remain married. Twist: Alice’s husband is Michel’s best friend. Michel starts lying for everyone’s supposed good—first with relish, then with panic. The lies spread like an open tap flooding an apartment. Can they wriggle out? Running time: 90 minutes.

Anniversary Pop and Sharp Stand-Up

Kökény 50 – Attila Kökény and Viktor Rakonczai in Concert
February 14, 2026, Saturday, 7:00 PM
A milestone evening with powerhouse vocals and piano-driven pop flair.
May I Be Honest? – Péter Elek solo show (Dumaszínház)
February 15, 2026, Sunday, 6:00 PM
They say being honest with yourself solves half the problem—but which half? Péter Elek riffs on relationship games, male–female untruths, and the taste spectrum from shameless to sublime.

Pros
+
Family-friendly mix: music, comedy, talks, and theater means kids, teens, parents, and grandparents all find something
+
International touchpoints help: Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and an operetta tribute to world-known Imre Kálmán are easy cultural “ins” for U.S. visitors
+
Central location in Miskolc near major local landmarks; easy stroll between venues, wine cellars, and sights for a full evening out
+
Tickets available online, so you can plan from the U.S. and avoid language hassles at the box office
+
Public transport and car access are straightforward in a mid-size city; parking and rideshares are usually less stressful than in Budapest
+
Candlelit concert offers a memorable, Instagrammable vibe comparable to “Candlelight” shows popular in U.S. cities, often at lower prices
+
Good value versus big-capital productions: close-up performances, strong casts, and a local vibe without tourist markups
Cons
Some shows are in Hungarian (comedies, operetta dialogue), so punchlines and plot twists may be hard to follow without language skills
Miskolc isn’t a globally famous city, so first-time U.S. tourists may need extra planning versus sticking to Budapest or Prague
The medical talk on gut health is niche for tourists unless you’re specifically interested; not a classic travel-night-out
Compared with West End/Broadway or Vienna’s State Opera, production scale is smaller and name recognition lower, though charm and access are higher
