The lineup mixes theater and concerts across genres, with organizers promising a lively season under the stars. Dates and programs may change, so keep an eye out.
July Highlights

On July 12, A dzsungel könyve (The Jungle Book) swings in with a beloved musical spin. Then, on July 22, a true coup lands: Csengetett, Mylord? (You Rang, M’Lord?) premieres worldwide in Veresegyház.

Cons
–
Most performances are in Hungarian, so non-speakers will miss jokes and plot details unless they know the story
–
Veresegyház isn’t a globally famous destination, so first-timers may need extra planning for logistics and dining
–
Weather can affect open-air shows; rain or heat waves are a gamble compared with indoor venues
–
Compared with London/NYC theater or Salzburg/Aix summer festivals, productions are smaller-scale and less internationally renowned
