The key work of Italian verismo and one of the most popular operas in the world, Leoncavallo's masterpiece is the first opera premiere of the new theatre season.

Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore stands out for its unusually inventive music, full of successfully crafted, and fresh melodies. The famous opera will come to life on the stage of the Croatian National Theatre in Split under the baton of maestro Veton Marevci.

Premiere: March 2025

"Swan of Catania," Vincenzo Bellini, the unparalleled master of bel canto, is an operatic genius whose gift for composing long, flowing melodies has been admired by the greatest opera composers, from Verdi to Wagner. Expressive music, deep emotions, and Bellini's ability to convey feelings of love, sorrow, and tragedy make this opera unforgettable. This masterpiece, a supreme example of Bellini's ability to create a musical narrative that radiates both beauty and depth, is being performed in Split for the first time.

Mozart's timeless classic is one of the greatest operas ever composed. The quest for truth and wisdom, love and enlightenment, is cloaked in the form of enchanting fantasy. The Magic Flute, which serves Prince Tamino to rescue him from trouble, is a symbol of art, music that touches the emotions, comforts, strengthens, and transforms the soul through a process of metamorphosis. It guides a person through numerous trials on the journey from the realm of night to the realm of light and humanity.

In folk tradition, the heroism of Mila Gojsalić, the beautiful and proud girl from Poljica, a martyr and a national heroine, the "Croatian Joan of Arc" who sacrificed her own life to eliminate the danger of foreign occupation in her native Poljica region, is a significant theme in Croatian literature, music, and art. Jakov Gotovac composed a historical musical drama based on the lyrics of Danko Anđelinović, creating his most lavish opera in the process, filled with noble pathos and almost oratorical serenity.
