The most popular and most frequently performed Croatian opera Ero the Joker had its world-premiere in Zagreb in 1935 and has not left the repertoire of all Croatian opera houses ever since. Its enormous popularity and international success is the result of the ideal cooperation between the writer Milan Begović and the composer Jakov Gotovac. The exceptional humour of the libretto stems from the perfect vitality of the characters from the Dalmatian hinterland, completed by the richly orchestrated music of lively rhythm. The opera abounds with beautiful arias, duets and ensembles, with the popular wheel dance for the finale.
