Organizers promise a packed season of mixed genres, live music, and shows that bring generations together for the warmest nights of the year.
2026.06.21. — Charlie concert
Hungarian pop-rock legend Horváth Charlie brings that unmistakable rasp and swagger to kick off the season. Think smoky blues, swaggering jazz, and straight-shot Hungarian rock woven into the magic of Veresegyház evenings. Expect timeless singalongs from Jég dupla jéggel to Nézz az ég felé — the crowd-pleasers fans belt out with him across generations.
2026.07.03. — Neil Simon: Pletykafészek (Rumors) — a two-part farce
Lean back and follow the comic ricochet of rumors as the upper ten thousand lose their cool in style. Neil Simon’s precision-timed, door-slamming chaos lands in Veresegyház with socialites in spirals and the audience in stitches.
2026.07.07. — Dés László – Geszti Péter – Grecsó Krisztián: A Pál utcai fiúk (The Paul Street Boys)
2026.07.08. — A Pál utcai fiúk — musical in two parts
This beloved foundational story shifts its lens from children to young adults, sharpening the drama and raising the stakes. Contemporary sounds and lyrics intensify the clashes, while the show leans on acoustic soundscapes, the actors’ rhythmic inventiveness, youthful force and humor, and the original tale’s cathartic punch. Two nights, one classic reimagined with a pulse that hits harder today.
2026.07.12. — A dzsungel könyve (The Jungle Book)
Mowgli, the boy who faces down his enemies and goes searching for happiness with his new family beneath the thick canopy. A must-see, heartwarming tearjerker about friendship and love for kids and the young at heart alike.
2026.07.15. — Jeanie Linders: Menopauza (Menopause The Musical)
That certain season arrives in every woman’s life. Some hide it, others puncture it with jokes — this show does both loudly, frankly, and hilariously. Jeanie Linders’ global hit barrels into town with big laughs and bigger honesty.
2026.07.19. — Geszti Péter concert
The frontman of positive energy brings stadium-shaking Rapülők dance bangers, Jazz+Az funk flavors, Gringo Sztár vibes, and Létvágy’s pop delicacies — all live, wrapped in high-impact stage tech, sharp humor, and unfiltered lyrics.
2026.07.22. — Csengetett, Mylord? (You Rang, M’Lord?) — world premiere
Widowed Lord Meldrum navigates London’s Roaring Twenties high society with his brother, mother-in-law, and two daughters, while downstairs a cook, footman, butler, and maid are just as colorful as the masters. After the TV comedy’s cult run, the stage version brings back beloved characters chasing passion — some after money, some after skirts — across that timeless upstairs-downstairs divide.
2026.07.26. — Steven Moffat: Rém Rendes Vendég (The Unfriend) — two-part comedy
On a cruise, polite Brits Peter and Debbie befriend American widow Elsa. Addresses are exchanged, a future visit promised — which usually never happens. This time, it does. After reading certain things about her online, icy dread descends; they’d rather not let Elsa near their two teenagers, yet don’t want to offend her. Add a know-it-all neighbor and a police sergeant, and the farce detonates. Fresh off a London West End hit, the terrifyingly nice guest arrives straight to the Játékszín (Playhouse) and now Veresegyház.
2026.07.28. — Ne most, Drágám! (Not Now, Darling) — comedy
Love triangles, mink coats, scantily dressed ladies, garments flying out of windows, and total delirium — set in London’s swankiest fur salon. Built purely for carefree entertainment.
2026.08.05. — Az Ackroyd gyilkosság (The Murder of Roger Ackroyd) — crime
Hercule Poirot hangs up his hat and moves to the drowsy English village of King’s Abbot for a peaceful retirement. Not for long: two inexplicable deaths shatter the calm. In this Agatha Christie thriller, Kálid Artúr appears as Poirot and Szabó P. Szilveszter as Dr. James Sheppard — a classic whodunit sharpened for the stage.
2026.08.07. — Anconai szerelmesek (Lovers of Ancona) — musical comedy
For two decades, this has been one of Hungary’s most played and replayed comedies, blending the best of Italian commedia traditions with classic Hungarian humor and the most iconic Italian hits of the seventies.
2026.08.11. — Anconai szerelmesek a Balatonon (Lovers of Ancona at Lake Balaton) — musical comedy
Twenty years whirl by — on paper only. Hearts are frozen in one shimmering moment. It’s the hot, hopeful summer of 1989 as the whole Italian troupe sets out for Hungary: some with a softer belly, some with graying locks, some trailing a teenager, all chasing roots, old-new loves, calm, and happiness. Expect plenty of each, thanks to Békés, the SZOT resort manager. Meanwhile the bel canto flows: Azzurro, Bella Ciao, Sono l’italiano…
2026.08.15. — Egy életem — biographical stand-up with Csuja Imre
Csuja Imre talks about his life — humbly, funnily, and heartwarmingly. From a mother who “directed” his childhood to grueling early years with four shows a day, lessons from seasoned greats, and meeting his wife more than 40 years ago. And yes, the legendary films Üvegtigris (Glass Tiger) and Valami Amerika (A Kind of America) roll in, with behind-the-scenes gems to savor.
2026.08.18. — Túl a Maszat-hegyen? (Over Stain Mountain?) — comedy
A world where smudges are order and cleaning is chaos. Muhi Andris sets off to save friends from the realm of blotches, dusters, and terrifying neat freaks. A bright, magical, earworm-filled trip for little ones and grown-ups, where play, imagination, and laughter are your bravest allies — and even vacuum cleaners might not be on the right side.
2026.08.29. — Nem rongyos élet — újravarrva (Not a Ragged Life — Restitched) | operetta gala
Last year they promised; this year they overdeliver. Remember that roaring night when drama giants and operetta stars whirled the csárdás together on the Mézesvölgyi Nyár stage? New faces and old favorites return as the crème of Hungarian theater proves again that operetta — a true Hungarikum — belongs to everyone.
