László Szacsvay is a graceful, elegant, good humoured and immensely kind gentleman who has been an integral figure of Hungarian cultural life for nearly half a century. After graduating from the Academy of Drama and Film in 1971, he immediately joined the company of the Hungarian National Theatre, and later, in 1982, the company of the Katona József Theatre, of which he is still a member. He received the Jászai Mari Prize in 1978, has been awarded both the Artist of Merit award and Outstanding Artist Award of the Republic of Hungary and been named an Actor of the Nation.
He has participated in more than 170 premieres and has made some unforgettable appearances in various films and television series. Younger audiences may know him from films like S.O.S. szerelem! and Mancs, or the TV series Életképek. The immense list of roles in which he's appeared as a voice-over actor include Yoda in Star Wars, Dr. Delriego in Hitman and Rabbit in Winnie the Pooh. And as he demonstrated in the musical production Budapest Orfeum, he is also superbly talented when it comes to the world of couplets and chansons. In this edition of Crazy About Jazz we will find out what kind of relationship he has with jazz music, and what have been the most joyful moments of his unique career.

Audience members, who will be able to take their seats in the Bohém Restaurant on a first-come, first-served basis from 6 pm, receive a welcome drink and can enjoy dinner before or after the concert.
