Does anyone have any suggestions for concerts, operas, etc. to see when we are in Budapest in mid October? Thanks!

Have you looked at the official Budapest website?

Oops I forgot....Has anyone seen the opera The Spinning Room? It seems to be our only choice at he Hungarian State Opera House. What other venues should we look at? Thanks again!

Why haven't you gone to timeout.com or inyourpocket.com to see what venues are around and then checked those venues to see what's on?

"Concerts" is not limited to any particular style, so those guides can help narrow your choices to something that fits your unstated preferences.

Forget The Room. Terrible.

I will be there beginning the 5th. Look up free concerts, church concerts, organ concerts etc.

Hi benmia,

the Opera House and the biggest musical theater (Operettszínház) is almost next to each other (well, 3 minutes walk from one to each.) Just walk there and ask if they have tickets available

I can also recommend Madách Színház, where also musicals are played. (Currently among others they play Mamma Mia, Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, Phantom of the Opera)

Have a great time in Budapest, I hope you'll like my city

Thanks Wattyks for your response here and on another of my posts. What do you know about the opera The Spinning Room? That is what is available when we are in Budapest.

St. Michaels has concerts on Wed and Sat, Matthias Church will have one on Oct 29th at 730. There seemed to be notices and flyers all over once you get there as well.
