Situated in the "Green Horseshoe” in Donji Grad, the Croatian National Theatre is an attractive landmark in the Lower Town. It is built in neo-baroque and rococo styles of architecture and has three domes. Watching an opera, drama, or ballet performance, here is a lifetime experience.
The theatre dates back to 1895 when it was built by Viennese architects Hermann Helmer and Ferdinand Fellner. A marvel in yellow, the Croatian National Theatre was officially opened for tourists in 1894. The interiors of the buildings are replete with artworks from celebrated artists such as Vlaho Bukovac and Ivan Mestrovic, making it a delight to the visual senses. The five level seating arrangements along with great sound and stage makes the experience all the more worthwhile.
