Creative and Design Team
Martin Boross Director
Director Martin Boross is artistic director of STEREO AKT, a Budapest based contemporary theatre collective. Between 2011 and 2014, he was a member of Artus Theatre. He earned his diploma in 2013 at the University of Theatre and Film Art of Budapest, Faculty of Dramaturgy. Since 2011, he has directed twelve theater pieces—both onstage and site specific — as well as an opera, a documentary film, and numerous smaller scale works such flash-mobs and civil campaigns. His post-dramatic pieces are often interdisciplinary, participatory, and interactive, and he frequently use documentary materials from a social or political perspective. Boross is interested in audience interaction as the dramaturgical technique necessary to achieve a deep and intensive level of perception. Outside of Hungary, he has worked with international project-based teams in Germany, Spain, Denmark, and the United States.
DINYÉS Dániel Music Director
Music in 2005 at the Department of composition. He started working during his studies at the Hungarian State Opera as a repetiteur and also took part in several independent opera productions with excellent musicians, including Balázs Kovalik. From 2002 to 2012 he contributed to a number of productions of the National Theatre as music director and conductor. For two years after 2008, he had worked as music director at the Bárka Theatre before he joined for two seasons to the Kaposvár Csiky Gergely Theatre. Meanwhile he led courses at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music and at the Budapest University of Theatre and Film Arts. In 2015 Dinyés won „The Best Musical Performance Award” at the Budapest Comedy Theatre for his performance in The Threepenny Opera by Weill-Brecht. At the Budapest Katona József Theatre he was awarded with „Standing Ovation Award” for his „Opera Initiation” series. Dániel Dinyés made his debut as a conductor at the Hungarian State Opera with Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi in 2013. At the Budapest Operetta-theater he performed first in 2016, conducting the Gipsy Queen. Dinyés cooperates with a number of Hungarian symphony orchestras on a regular basis. A CD with a selection of Liszt-songs, with participation of his wife, Klára Kolonits opera singer, was released by the EMI in 2009 and it was nominated for Fonogram Award. In 2014 Dinyés and Kolonits released a new CD, „Bel canto Reloaded” with arias and orchestral parts which has been generally acclaimed by the Hungarian and international press. Since 2017 Dániel Dinyés has filled the principal conductor position at the Budapest Operetta-theater.
