ORFEUM CLUB
Whatever happened to the orpheums of old in Budapest?
For example, the Kék Macska or the Folies?
Venues where you could find the cream of literary or stage life. Where it was chic to dance the night away, where the sparks of love were fanned and where serious business deals were struck. Budapest was poorer for the lack of a cheery chanson, a bittersweet vaudeville ditty and razor-sharp repartee.
Where are today’s lithe black dancers?
Who has taken the place of Fregoli, the quick-change artist?
In fact, what exactly happened to easygoing, live entertainment?
The answer is that it’s back, in all its glorious intricacy, alive and thriving in Orfeum.
This new venue is quickly becoming the focus for a vibrant cultural and artistic life.
Its soft-sprung armchairs, coffee and beverage specialities evoke a sense of coffeehouse life from days gone by, while the stage revives memories of glorious Budapest music club life from a golden age. There’s a stunning interior design, varied menu, one-of-a-kind programmes, music and theatre evenings, club concerts and revues.
In short, Orfeum is a totally new experience for individual guests and corporate events.
