Life
Vidnyánszky grew up as a member of the Hungarian minority in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. He studied pedagogy in Uzhhorod and trained in theater at the State Theater University in Kiev . In 1992 he founded a Hungarian theater in Uzhhorod, in which he practiced a national-romantic theater language. In 2002 he received the Hungarian Mari Jászai Prize for Drama. In 2007 he went to the Csokonai Theater in Debrecen, Hungary . In 2011 he was awarded the Kossuth Prize for his work in Hungary .
In 2013 he was appointed director of the National Theater in Budapest by the national conservative government of Orban . In contrast to his predecessor Róbert Alföldi, Vidnyánszky promises to reverse the devaluation of the eternally believed European system of values that he noted . The Burgtheater Vienna then decided to cancel a guest performance in Budapest planned for 2014 for these political reasons.
When the Burgtheater performed Chekhov's Die Möwe at the Budapest National Theater in 2015 under the new director Karin Bergmann , Vidnyánszky reacted indignantly after the castle actor Martin Reinke read a statement critical of Orban at the end of the performance.
