Budapest Operetta and Folklore Theater
On the board
Our Operetta and Folklore theatre performance takes place at the heart of Budapest. The newly built catamaran which serves as the location was built specifically for this purpose.
Our Operetta and Folk Theatre lines up operetta and opera stars, ballet and folklore dance artists and masters of the classical orchestra. Musicians excelling in playing the violin, the viola, the cello, the double bass or the dulcimer, performing the most popular folksongs of the Hungarian operetta history.
The ‘Opera’ genre is known by most, but it is a little-known fact that the genre ‘Operetta’ originates from it.
Bright tunes spiced up with plenty of humorous bits that are often about love. The story is usually joyful and comical and tends to contain tasteful mockery. The structure is made up of prosaic monologues and conversations, as well as simple arias, uplifting songs and dance bits which are usually based on folk and folkloric foundations.
Our Operetta and Folklore dancers embody the trademarks of the Hungarian folk history as well as the artistic essence of Austro-Hungarian Empire. Fancy dresses and costumes, the marvellous panorama of Budapest bring back fond memories of the atmosphere of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The breath-taking Budapest panorama serves as live background to our Operetta and Folklore Theatre. Owing to this one of a kind ‘stage’ our guests are in for a treat when it comes to our unique, cultural yet entertaining Theatre.

Spent my bday in Budapest and took this amazing cruise. The ride on the Danube was an exceptional experience in and of itself but the dinner and entertainment were the icing on the cake! The dancers and musicians were extremely talented, the singer had a gorgeous voice and the interaction with the audience kept my attention. I had the duck which was perfectly moist, the potatoes excellent and my drinks delicious! I took the cruise on a Monday so it wasn't a full boat so I suggest you try it on a Monday, as well.
