The virtual stage of the National Dance Theatre awaits audiences with 20 premiere and repertoire pieces – some of them free of charge. Online performances have become so popular in recent times that the institution is continuing with its virtual programming, and you can see exciting new performances in May and June that could not yet be presented due to the pandemic

Recent months have not been easy for cultural institutions, but with gradual reopening, things have gathered momentum. The stage at the National Dance Theatre is currently being revived by dance and music as performers rehearse. 

Reopening is still pretty cautious, so you’ll have to wait a bit longer to enjoy the shows live – even so, the art of dance is coming home with premieres and great performances online.

These are exciting weeks to look forward to, as in May and June, folk dance and flamenco literally take centre stage during this two-month showcase, and Hungarian contemporary dance ensembles will also be presenting new performances.

For May, the Inversedance - Zoltán Fodor Company, the National Dance Theatre company, a new production by the Duna Art Ensemble and flamenco by FlamenCorazóneArte Dance Theatre are all scheduled.

In June, the Hungarian National Dance Ensemble, Szeged Contemporary Dance Company and the Yvette Bozsik Company are all performing, along with returning guests the Compagnie Pal Frenak and Ballet Pécs.

Tickets for the performances can be exchanged through InterTicket’s purchase system, but repertoire performances can still be viewed free of charge, subject to registration.

Fortunately, you shouldn’t have to wait long to enjoy the performances live, as the National Dance Theatre is preparing for a gradual reopening, within pandemic restrictions and paying special attention to the wellbeing of the audience and artists. A limited number of spectators will soon be able re-enter the auditorium, providing they’re carrying an Immunity Certificate.


This year, in addition, you can look forward to performances throughout the summer, as the theatre plans to be open almost continuously. You’ll be able to see exciting performances created for the green space at the Millenáris, in the shape of Dance Park, the NDT’s open-air summer events, and a recent summer favourite, Dance Fusion.

You can find more information about the premieres and performances in the repertoire on the website of the National Dance Theatre.
