Margitszigeti Szabadtéri Színpad, Outdoor theatre on Margaret Island, Budapest, Hungary
The Margitszigeti Szabadtéri Színpad is an outdoor theatre on Margaret Island in Budapest with a stage surrounded by gardens and walking paths. The site offers natural seating areas and routes to explore the surrounding landscape.
The theatre opened in 1938 and quickly became an important venue for outdoor performances in Budapest. Over the decades, it remained an established location for artistic presentations on the island.
The stage hosts operas, ballets, concerts, and theatrical productions featuring both Hungarian and international artists. Visitors experience classical and contemporary performances in a natural outdoor environment.
The theatre typically operates from May through September with a regular program of performances. Visitors can book tickets online and should prepare for varying weather conditions since the venue is entirely outdoors.
The venue uses the island's natural terrain, positioning the stage so audiences have views of the river while watching performances. This creates an unusual backdrop where the Danube itself becomes part of the theatrical experience.
