Celebrate the New Year in a special and authentic way! Budapest shows its class on the 31st December with this unique program combination. The autenthic New Year's Eve Hungarian Folklore Show is performed by the members of the famous Rajkó folk ensemble. The 3 pair of dancers and the 6 musicians give you the viewer a broad insight into Hungarian music, dance and costume heritage. The night is complete with a splendid standing reception for a multi-cultural audience. The reception includes open bar with unlimited drink consumption and a welcome entry: sandwich and drink.
The program takes place in one of Budapest Downtown's most distinguished theatre buildings, the Danube Palace. The former casino of Lipótváros was built between 1883 and 1885, in beautiful Neo-¬Baroque style by the plans of Vilmos Freund. At that time it was known as the aristocratic club for entertainment not a casino in terms of gambling. Until the beginning of World War II the Palace served as the cultural hub of Budapest supported by several young artists such as Bartók, Kodály and Dvorák who performed in its first class concert hall.
The Hungarian Folklore Show starts at 22:00 in the Elvira hall, preparing New Year's celebration.
There is no better way to greet the coming year than having a look in to an other culture! In preparation for your New Year's celebration, our dancers and musicians give the viewer a broad insight into Hungarian culture serving as confirmation to the fact that music and dance is inseparable. The program includes performing dances, songs and costumes from every part of the country by professional artists.
In addition to all, we took the opportunity to include some unique elements into the program; well-known evergreens on a traditional Hungarian folk instrument, the cimbalom, and Hungarian folk song adaptation performed by talented gypsy band. The open bar features champagne, multiple wine options soft drinks and much more. Everything what's necessary to have a great time.
