Budapesti Operettszínház

With the opening of the Metropolitan Operetta Theatre the Hungarian capital saw the beginning of the "silver operetta" period by giving a new and permanent home to the genre after Népszínház and Király Színház. In the history of the theatre the most important thing was to cherish the traditions of the classic operetta while enriching it with modern artistic solutions. Next to Vienna Budapest is the other capital of the operetta and anyone who comes to our theatre can see the high quality of the genre represented here.

The theatre has had such legendary artists in the ensemble as Hanna Honthy, Marika Németh, Zsuzsa Petress, Anna Zentai, Kamill Feleki, Kálmán Latabár, Sándor Németh, Róbert Rátonyi or János Sárdy.

Since the mid-sixties this multitalented ensemble has been presenting musicals to great critical and popular acclaim: My Fair Lady, Hello Dolly!, West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, Funny Girl, Cabaret, La Cage Aux Folles, The Sound of Music, Somewhere in Europe to name but a few.
