This building was erected (between 1898 and 1900) on the site of a former arsenal, as a result of an architectural competition. The architects, Aladár Arkay and Mór Kallina were to face a rather demanding project: to design a building in a pre-existing block which should function both as a theatre and a library in order to satisfy the expectations of the residents of Buda.
There used to be a restaurant on the first, and a café on the ground floor of the Vigadó. The relatively simple eclectic appearance of the building is compensated for by some magnificent art nouveau decoration inside: animpressive hall, the wide marble staircase and pillars, a spacious richly-decorated theatre hall and a splendid 301-seat theatre.

Nowadays, performances of the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble (approximately 120 annually) can be seen here.
Their educational performances presenting the history of Hungarian dancing. I have visited the Birth of a national dance perfomance. Between authentric perfomances you can enjoy the Eternal Kalotaszeg , Highland Treasures or Hungarian Concerto named performances.
