A story about love, courage and humanity

A timeless masterpiece returns to the stage: Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame tells the moving story of the disfigured Quasimodo, who grows up hidden high above the rooftops of Paris - far away from the world, but full of longing for it. In October 2026, we will present the new German-language production by the Budapest Operetta Theater on our stage for the first time.

Story based on Victor Hugo

When Quasimodo ventures out among the people for the first time at the Festival of Fools, he gets into trouble and meets the courageous Esmeralda, who shows him compassion and friendship. Their encounter sparks a touching story about exclusion, love and justice - told against the powerful backdrop of Notre-Dame Cathedral, with breathtaking music and great emotion. Based on Victor Hugo's world-famous novel, the musical combines the unforgettable Disney songs of Alan Menken, the multiple Oscar-winning composer, and Stephen Schwartz, the Oscar-winning songwriter.

Impressive and epic

Powerful choirs, tender ballads and a rousing live orchestration create a stage epic full of passion, hope and humanity. Over 70 performers, magnificent costumes and an imposing stage set with Gothic architecture and huge bells transport the audience to the monumental Paris of the 15th century - an unforgettable live experience.
