 The 80s marked successful theatrical compositions for the Bródy-Szörényi duo, like Kőműves Kelemen in 1982, cult rock opera István, a király in 1983, or Fehér Anna in 1988.As member projects took increasingly different paths, Fonográf dissolved after three large concerts in 1984.Bródy's relationship with Szörényi soured after the first democratic elections in 1990 when they began to support rival political parties, restricting their joint artistic work to the few last concerts of Illés and Fonográf.
