Croatian National Theatre
The building housing the Croatian National Theatre is as much a
national treasure as the world-class dramatic, opera, music and
ballet productions that take place on its stage. Construction began
on the theatre building in 1894. Croatian painter Vlaho Bukovac
painted the ceremonial curtain while Viennese artist Alexander
Goltz decorated the ceiling of the auditorium. The building was
officially opened by Austro-Hungarian emperor Franz-Joseph I at the
end of 1895. The theatre is constantly busy with full
performing arts programmes.
