Hungarian Folklore Show
No matter which you choose, you can be sure you’ll be entertained by some of the best professional folk performers in Hungary; all three performance groups were founded in the 1950s and have shown off their talents around Hungary and abroad! The 30 artists in each ensemble perform choreography based on authentic dances, some of which date back to isolated villages from hundreds of years ago.
As you watch and listen, gain an entertaining understanding of Hungary’s heritage through the music, dancing and costumes of the folk show.
Each show consists of two 40- to 45-minute sections with an intermission of ten to fifteen minutes.
Show Options:
Select a show at Danube Palace (Duna Palota), a neo-Baroque building from the 1890s, to see either the Danube Folk Ensemble or the Hungaria Folk Ensemble and Orchestra. If you choose Budai Vigado, a stately venue that boasts Art Nouveau interior décor, you’ll see the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble.
