The Opera of the CNT in Zagreb thrilled the audience in Maribor, Slovenia with Pucciniꞌs La Bohème Opera — 19. January 2025.

The Opera of the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb gave a guest performance of Pucciniꞌs La Bohème on Saturday, January 18, 2025 at the Slovenian National Theatre in Maribor. This guest appearance is the first time the Opera of the CNT in Zagreb performed at this partner theatre with which it cherishes a long-term collaboration. The performance that premiered in May 2024 and was directed by Mario Pontiggia, in Maribor was led by chief conductor of the Opera of the CNT in Zagreb Pier Giorgio Morandi. The ensemble of the CNT in Zagreb thrilled the Slovenian audience that rewarded the soloists, Chorus and Orchestra with long ovations, confirming the artistic excellence of the Zagreb Opera. The auditorium was sold out days in advance.

The production will be back on the stage of the CNT in Zagreb on January 22 and 24 at 7.30 p.m. and on January 25, 2025 at 6 p.m. As part of this project the exhibition titled Giacomo Puccini at the Zagreb Opera that was organised on the occasion of the 100th death anniversary of this great composer, was also on display in the Foyer of the Slovenian National Theatre in Maribor.
The Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb in the upcoming months of this season will continue with international networking and exchanges and is strengthening its reputation on the European cultural map.
