A nagymama (The Grandmother)
November 26, 2025, Wednesday, 19:00
Csiky Gergely’s A nagymama blends gentle humor, twists, and big emotions. A young man applies as an Italian teacher at a girls’ school and, with modest manners and solid pedagogy, wins over the staff—except one insider knows he’s actually the young Count Szerémi in disguise, “a wolf in sheep’s clothing,” smuggled in by his former tutor Tódorka Szilárd. Tódorka, unable to deny his old pupil, now plans to confess everything to Szerémi’s grandmother. The formidable Grandmother arrives to grill her grandson in private and learns he’s there for love. Determined to help the young lovers, she’s driven by her own unhappy past, when she was separated from the man she loved. But can she untangle a web of long-ago family knots and get everyone to the right person—and to happiness? Cast: Kállay Bori, Kovács Szilárd, Faragó András, Barkóczi Sándor, Pacskó Dorka, Vörös Edit, Haraszti Elvira, Kiss Zoltán, Teremi Trixi, Szirtes Gábor, Halász Aranka, Csápenszki Nikolett, Unger Vanda / Gere Orsolya, Hábel Ferenc, plus ensemble of students.

A towering painter dies; his works are everywhere that matter, critics adore him, and America’s art world buzzes when his late-period triumph, “Nude with Violin,” surfaces in the estate.

Mágnás Miska
December 20, 2025, Saturday, 15:00 and 19:00
Premiered in February 1916 at the Király Theatre (Király Színház), this smash-hit operetta by Albert Szirmai and Károly Bakonyi stars Miska, the stable boy turned faux Count Tasziló by engineer István Baracs to avenge a slight from Count Korláthy, who blocks the railway’s route to suit his own interests. Romantic chaos erupts when Baracs and Korláthy’s daughter fall for each other at a fair. Incognito, they’re fine—inside the castle, a social chasm yawns. When Tasziló is unmasked, high society is humiliated, and Rolla happily chooses Baracs. Expect classics: Cintányéros cudar világ; Úgy szeretnék boldog lenni; Hoppsza, Sári.
