By far the most successful of the Hungarian crop of rock operas, ever since its original album release Stephen, the King has had not only symphonic features but has also been pervaded by the vocal, closed number structure characteristic of traditional operas, the presence of large tableaus, and instrumentation that gives the rock music universal perspectives. The poems for Levente Szörényi, who approached one of the fundamental stories in Hungarian history through Miklos Boldizsar’s play titled Ezredforduló (Turn of the Millennium), was written by his old co-author János Bródy. The Hungarian State Opera production stages the work with operatic instrumentation and opera singers. Thanks to the entirely symphonic score by composer Levente Gyöngyösi and the opera singers participating in the production, the work completely sheds the need for amplification, allowing new treasures to be discovered in the atmosphere of Hungary’s largest theatre, the Erkel in the interpretation of Miklós Szinetár, the doyen of Hungarian directors.
This production has been made possible through the mediation of the Zikkurat Stage Agency and Melody Kft.

This summer at the Capital Circus of Budapest, we invite you on an exhilarating journey through time! Close your eyes, take a leap, and travel back 100 years to the fantastic 1920s — an unforgettable decade bursting with energy and style. Who wouldn’t want to step out of a sleek sports car, don a chic floppy hat, and dance to the irresistible rhythms of swing, jazz, or the Charleston?
A musicalben árva gyerekek egy csapata kószál a háborús front kellős közepén. Egy békés hajlékra vágynak, ahová behúzódhatnak éjszakára. És természetesen egy jó falatra. Ha nem kapnak ételt, akkor elcsenik maguk. De ugyan ki tudna haragudni rájuk? Csak túl akarják élni a háborút. Ma, amikor milliók kényszerültek elhagyni otthonukat, ez is döbbenetesen ismerős üzenet.
A világon először a Madách Színház kapta meg a jogot, hogy non-replica változatban állítsa színpadra a Mamma Mia! musicalt. A bemutató 2014 augusztusában a Szegedi Szabadtéri Játékokon, szeptemberben pedig a Madách Színházban volt.
