István, a király - 25. éves jubileumi előadás

2007

The rock opera, which was first presented in 1983, was a breakthrough in many ways, as its musical style combined popular, folk and church Gregorian melodies, which was the first of its kind in the history of Hungarian musical theatre. The musical backgrounds of the composers Levente Szörényi and János Bródy are also rooted more in pop music. The composing duo wrote the rock opera Stephen the King based on Miklós Boldizsár's drama Millennium. The MTV talent show starring the winners of the company (István - Pál Feke; Koppány - Imre Vadkerti; Sarolt - Enikő Éder; Gizella - Boglárka Simon; Réka - Flóra Herczeg; Torda - Attila Tóth; Táltosasszony - Szandra Fejes; Laborc - Lajos Varga) were presented one month after the finals, on 17 June, in the Papp László Sport Arena, directed by János Szikora.
