Ballet
Hungary's only classical ballet company - this designation is an enormous responsibility. Nevertheless, with its colourful repertoire, illustrious roster of dancers and star choreographers, the Hungarian National Ballet proves season after season that it is up to the task. The ensemble revitalises traditional works and introduces the Hungarian audience to modern pieces, all performed to the world-class standards that Budapest's Opera is known for today.
