Under the umbrella of the 2012 edition of the Budapest Spring Festival the National Theatre will host international guest performances again. However, the Festival traditionally begins with a Hungarian performance.

Between November 26th and December 3rd, the 10th Contemporary Drama Festival will take place in Budapest.

At the most prestigious annual theatre festival of Hungary, called POSZT (Pécs National Theatre Festival) the National Theatre got six awards this year. Our theatre took most of the prizes at the 2011 edition of the festival. The professional jury as well as the jury of the audience chose Hunting Scenes from Lower Bavaria as the best performance (directed by Róbert Alföldi). Gábor Hevér got the best supporting actor award, the best actress under 30 award went to Csilla Radnay, and the best actor under 30 award to Tamás Szabó Kimmel. Márton Kovács, the composer of the performance, We Live Once got the award for the best music written for performance.
