All classical music lovers will be able to enjoy the premiere performance of the most famous Croatian soloists.

On Thursday, September 21, 2023, a gala concert by soloists from the Croatian National Theatre Zagreb will be premiered in the Great Hall of the Kosača Theatre.

The guest appearance of eminent soloists of the Croatian National Theatre Opera in Zagreb is an opportunity for all visitors to get acquainted with a part of the current and future repertoire of the Zagreb Opera, as well as to enjoy the performance of arias by Croatian and international composers. On this occasion, the soloists will perform arias, duets and ensembles from operas by some of the most famous composers: Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Georges Bizet, Jacques Offenbach, and Croatian authors Jakov Gotovac, Ivan pl. Zajc and Ivo Tijardović.

In the upcoming season, the Croatian National Theatre Opera in Zagreb will premiere Rigoletto by G. Verdi, Cosi fan tutte by WA Mozart and La bohême by G. Puccini, and the audience at the concert in Mostar will have a kind of "pre-premiere" because even before the Zagreb premieres, they will be able to hear interpretations of the soloists who will perform in new productions of the umbrella theatre institution in Croatia.

Soprano Darija Auguštan will open the concert with a performance of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Così fan tutte Come scoglio, the aria Fiordiligi from Act 1. After that, the concert will be continued by baritone Ljubomir Puškarić with a performance of Verdi: Rigoletto Cortigiani, vil razza dannata. Mezzo-soprano Dubravka Šeparović Mušović will perform Habanero, the aria Carmen, Domagoj Dorotić La fleur que tu m'avais jetée, the aria Don Jose from Act 2. In the program consisting of works by Jakov Gotovac, Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ivan pl. Zajc and other domestic and international authors, everyone will find something for themselves.

The concert will be held under the auspices of the company FEAL Široki Brijeg, and admission is free for all visitors.
