Gábor Koltay

Gábor Koltay, born in Budapest on 9 February 1950, first studied engineering at the Technical University of Budapest, then graduated in 1979 from the College of Theatre and Film Arts. He worked as a director for Hungarian television, then at Mafilm from 1981, and it was in those years that he staged the rock opera from which he made this film. From 1986 to 2003 he ran the open-air stages of Budapest, where he mounted mainly large-scale musical spectacles; his later films and documentaries took Hungarian history as their subject.
