When arriving through a huge arch, and watch this theatre from outside, you expect something large, according to the columnar entrance, even monumental. In the lobby, you still can think that there are long rows of chairs waiting for you, only after a few stairs - if you have a ticket to the balcony, you have fought yourself up quite a few stairs - you will be surprised to find that there is only a small auditorium for the big stage. I was lucky last night at the István Örkény Theater to see the Shaxpearre washer of Kertész street. It was a hard job to get tickets. It was a modern, very modern Romeo and Juliett story, where the youngsters are all more or less drog addicts, drinking cursing and everyone are having a promiscuous life. On weekend evenings on the streets of Budapest, something very similar can be seen as was on the stage. When I heard, that some people found it too much and left, I was thinking, what can they do in real life? Escape? Stay behind the walls of their home? Immigrate? Like it or not, that is the reality. Behind the rough, rambunctious behavior, is often a gentle soul is hiding. Shouting, swearing is just the surface, that the young fellow uses to cover up his feelings with. It was a phenomenal performance that we are used to from the Örkény theater team. Although I enjoyed every minute of the show, at home I did watch Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet for a bit. Just for the sake of contrast.

Bethlen Theatre ...where past meets present In the outer part of the 7th district of Budapest, at Bethlen Gabor square is where our tiny theater is located. In 2012, it was re-named as Bethlen Theatre – the same name it had before it was closed in 1937. The change of name went hand in hand with a change of profile: before the reopening, the place functioned as a dance theater for more than 15 years; since then it is a production theater. Its objective is to revive by the efficient help of contemporary art, young artists and performers without genre limitations. The programs here are organised on the basis of art community. The four pillars – prose and dance performances, children plays and comedy – have been extended with genres, such as visual theatre, impromptu theatre and folk performances. Festivals, contemporary dance and theater performances, Sunday plays for children, free screenings, and exhibitions at the Gallery await the audience every month.

Az egyik kevenc színházam. Többször voltam már, nem véletlenül, visszatérő vendég vagyok. A színészi játék fantasztikus, a hangosítás nagyon jó, mindig életre szóló élménnyel jöttem ki az előadás végén. Az eddigi kedvencem az Operaház fantomja volt, főleg a Sasvári Sándor-féle fantom előadásában. Angol felirat is van mindig, így a külföldiek számára is élvezhető. Maximálisan ajánlom. It's one of my favorite theaters. No wonder I've been there so many times, I'm a regular there. The acting is fantastic, the sound system is very good, I've always had the time of my life when I came out at the end of the show. My favorite show has been The phantom of the opera so far, especially with Sasvári Sándor as the phantom. They always use English subtitles during the shows, so foreigners can enjoy them too. I recommend it a lot.
