Expected Songs
The full setlist remains part of the secret — and the adventure to which we invite you.
Throughout the evening, the iconic melodies of animated, cinematic, and television stories from the ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s come to life — music that spans generations. All it takes is a single note, and you’ll instantly know where it’s familiar from, because the child within you never forgets.
And while the full map of the journey remains a secret, we’re happy to share a small visual glimpse of the world this evening will carry you to…

RAM ART Theatre
Sometimes stories need a home.
A place where they are quietly listened to, before they come to life.
The tale of Once Upon a Time finds its home within the walls of the RAM ART Theatre,
in the heart of the 13th district.
The theatre is named after Miklós Radnóti — a poet who taught us, through his words, how to remember, to pay attention, to feel. That spirit still lives here today, between spoken and unspoken stories. As the lights fade and the first note is heard, the audience slowly becomes a single shared breath. Here, you don’t just listen to the story — you are inside it. And when it ends, you may leave carrying something with you, something you have been searching for for a long time, even if you couldn’t yet name it.
