The Tóth Family

„When a snake (a rare phenomenon) devours itself is there a snake-size gap left in the world? And is there a power mighty enough to make a man devour his humanity to the last crumb? Is there or is there not? It’s quite a puzzle!” (István Örkény)

Lajos Tót is a fire-fighter in Mátraszentanna, a small mountain town. His house is nice and clean, his garden is sunny and bright. If his son would not be a front line soldier in Russia, Lajos Tót would only be informed about the war from the radio. When one day the company commander of his son shows up to take some rest from the shocks of war-time, Lajos Tót and his family do their best to make his time unforgettable. Everything that one can do. But what is that one can do in hard times is a matter of perspective.

Our offer


While the Fountain of Tears bubbles before him, Giray, khan of the Tatars, is lost in brooding. Just as the flow from the marble fount cannot be exhausted, his own sorrow will never diminish, either. The story of the Fountain of Bakhchisarai is set in motion by a romance recounting the reason for the khan's gloom.

As it is a latent Kodály season, it seems only fitting that the concert at the OPERA honouring the events of 1956 should feature works by the composer. In that same year, the short-lived Revolutionary Council of Hungarian Intellectuals elected him as its president. Throughout his entire oeuvre, Kodály consistently reinforced Hungarian national identity. The programme gains both colour and a ceremonial character from the hymn-like and dance-infused compositions of his middle and later years.

There are evenings when our Opera House cannot perform because rehearsals are ongoing on stage until the evening. There are audience members who can only afford to hear their favourite pieces with a discount. And there are works that, although very popular, cannot be staged every season due to the congestion of productions.
