Lúdas Matyi

childrens' performance

The fairy tale musical based on the classic work by Mihály Fazekas is not unknown to the audience of Sfântu Gheorghe, as the Háromszék Dance Ensemble has already staged it in 2001 and 2008 - with big success. The premiere in 2024 is a revival of these performances, which will be staged in several casts.

Lúdas Matyi of the Háromszék Dance Ensemble is very different from its original self. "Here, too, he beats back his grievances three times, but the methods are more modern. The setting is also more colourful and precise: the goose is in love with Matyi, and Döbrögi is also given a worthy companion in the person of a power-hungry, greedy wife." (Ferenc Novák)
