About this movie
István, a király ("Stephen, the King") is a Hungarian rock opera written by Levente Szörényi (music) and János Bródy (lyrics), based on the life of Saint Stephen of Hungary.

The musical became a smash hit and is still very popular in Hungary and among Hungarian minorities in neighboring countries.
