Monica Saffay as ElisabethIn Hungary, ELISABETH was produced as an open air spectacle at the Szeged Festival, opening on August 17, 1996. A Hungarian stage production opened in Budapest on November 15, 1996.

Elisabeth was played by Monica Safar (right) and Kata Janza.

The original Budapest 'Elisabeth' closed in May 1998, and the last performance by the Hungarian cast was at the Szeged Festival in August 1998.
