BUDAPEST SUMMER FESTIVAL 2007 - 8th June to 2nd September

The programme for this summer’s Open Air Theatre will be as exciting and as varied as visitors to the annual Summer Festival have come to expect. A rich diversity of special events will run throughout the summer on the outdoor stages specially erected on Margaret Island and at Városmajor. All tastes and age groups will be catered for, as performances range from the Broadway musical Elton John: Aida to musical theatre productions and Sunday morning entertainment for children. There will also be comedy, ballet and concerts of light music.

One of the highlights of the season will be the world première of a new musical written by team of talented young Hungarians: Dracula will be staged on Margaret Island, and stars Tibor Pintér and Nikolet Gallusz.
Margaret Island will also be the scene for the majority of the season’s concerts and musical productions: Al Di Meola promoting his new album, Klezmer Magic Show, 100-Member Gipsy Orchestra, Cotton Club Singers, Irish Dance Experience, and the Nagyida Gipsies, the ExperiDance Dance Spectacular.
