operetta in two parts

12th and 13th of July, 9th and 10th of August Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.

After the great success of Imre Kálmán’s operetta “Circus Princess” last season, Open-Air Theatre presents the composer’s venerable classic “Queen of the Csárdás” in a brand-new direction by Attila Vidnyánszky. The most popular grand operetta of all time, it enjoyed a rave reception in 1915, then a triumphant string of productions in the twentieth century.

Now this champion of the genre returns, so we can hum along to its now world-famous melodies, immerse ourselves in its glorious operetta milieu, and (as the song lyrics would have it) escape from the “Shabby World”.

Featuring the orchestra and choir of the Budapest Operetta Theatre, as well as its ballet corps.
