Miskolc, the secrets of the city by the Bükk Mountains – Following in Déryné's footsteps
Behind the scenes at the Miskolc National Theatre
There’s a place in Miskolc where stories have been brought to life for over two centuries.
Where the city’s dreams, dramas, and legends come alive on stage night after night.
This place is the Miskolc National Theatre.
On Visit Miskolc’s special themed walk, you won’t just observe the world of theatre from the auditorium – we’ll step behind the scenes.
The programme starts at Déryné’s former house, the legendary actress whose name is forever intertwined with the history of theatre in Miskolc. From here, we’ll stroll through the city centre, bringing theatrical tales, artistic fates, and urban legends to life.
At the end of the walk, we’ll arrive at the 203-year-old Miskolc National Theatre, where a unique experience awaits:
- a glimpse behind the scenes
- exploration of the theatre’s hidden spaces
- a 15-minute mini performance
- a visit to the Actor’s Museum, where memories of legendary artists await
- and for those who wish, the chance to dress up in costume and step onto the stage for a special selfie
This walk is more than just sightseeing.
It’s a meeting with the theatrical soul of Miskolc.
Places are limited, so it’s worth registering in advance.
Programme time: 14:00
Duration: approximately 3 hours
Participants of the walk also have the opportunity to complete their behind-the-scenes experience with an evening performance at the Miskolc National Theatre on the same day.
The theatre’s performances are usually in high demand, and tickets often sell out weeks in advance.
If you’d like to combine the walk with a theatre evening, we recommend purchasing tickets in advance online via the theatre’s official ticketing platform.
The themed walk will only take place with a minimum of 10 paying participants. If the programme is cancelled due to insufficient numbers, this will not affect the theatre performance, which will still go ahead. Therefore, we are unable to refund the cost of any theatre tickets purchased.
