Chess (CHESS) musical is a piece of love, passion, play and struggle, the story of two world chess championship finals, which is governed by the fight of two super-powers. Benny Andersson Tim Rice and Björn Ulvaeus created one of the most musically demanding pieces of musical literature in the world. The exciting battle between the honest sportsman, the careerist genius, the frustrated, skillful but sensitive tactician, the lover struggling vulnerable in the web of power and the big political manipulators is characteristically shown by the scenes and the superbly orchestrated, beautiful, sometimes dramatic melodies.

THE TESTAMENT OF AGA KOPPÁNYI - SONG GAME
June 18, 2021 - Szentendre, Skanzen
The lasting readings of our adolescence were provided by the unforgettable reges of Ferenc Molnár, Gárdonyi and Jókai, among others. They were followed by the adventures of István Fekete's novel hero, László Babocsai. The novel itself is captivating and twisty. Reading it is almost impossible to put down. But the question arises in our mind, how can this excitement be brought to the stage, thanks to which the audience would sit on the edge of their seats and push and hum throughout the performance.
JIM STEINMAN: VAMPIRE BALL
July 15-20, 2021. - Hungarian Theater in Pest
The plot takes place at the end of the 19th century in the wild, snowy Transylvania. Professor Abronsius follows the trail of vampires with his young assistant, Alfréd, the fearless vampire hunter. They arrive at Chagal's inn, where vampire-repelling garlic hangs in garlands everywhere. None of the villagers admits that vampires live in the nearby castle, although their attraction to the antidote, garlic, borders on obsession. The romantic and emotional Alfréd falls in love with the innkeeper's daughter, who has similar feelings for him. To the girl's innocently spellbinding song, the vampire count Krolock appears and invites Sarah to the ball to be held in his nearby castle. Sarah has a longing for the Count and the immortal world of vampires. This unquenchable attraction causes many more exciting complications, which are spiced up by the humorous adventures of vampire hunters stumbling around in the strange world of vampires.

MÁTYÁS VÁRKONYI - TIBOR MIKLÓS STAR PLAYERS
February 1, 2020 - Újpest Event Square
The story takes place in ancient Rome, during the time of the protagonist Nero, AD. The events begin in 54, the last year of Emperor Claudius' reign, and last until Nero's death. In collusion with his wife Agrippina Seneca, Emperor Claudius, who is no longer fit to rule, is poisoned so that Agrippina's child from her first marriage, Nero, can be made emperor. These two, Agrippina and Seneca, are the star-makers, the cleaners of those in the way, the anointers and then the downfallers of the next. They believe that by controlling the young emperor as a puppet, they can govern the Roman Empire from the background without any problems. However, Nero, who cherishes poetic ambitions, soon overrides the plans of Seneca and Agrippina.
Nero's rise, glory, and fall provide lessons for every age. The rock opera Sztárcsinálók presented by PS Produkció, on the stage of Rendezvénytér in Újpest, directed by Szente Vajk, is a special musical theater experience and relaxation for all generations.
