May 8, 2018 - The audience in Zagreb can look forward to two exceptional ballet treats in June

Ballet Studio HNK Split will be having their final performances of the season!

The Croatian National Theatre (Hrvatsko narodno kazalište Split - HNK Split) is working in unison with the town of Hvar, organizing a series of events in Hvar on May 27th and 28th, as well as a final event on June 4th. For the event titled "Dani HNK Split u Hvaru" (Days of HNK in Hvar), the town of Hvar will be serving its guests, locals, and tourists with a cultural treat to kick off the summer season. Set in unique theatrical history, you won’t want to miss this!

It might be the Ultra Festival weekend these days. But soon Split will turn the page and become the main cultural spot in Croatia with its 61st Split Summer Festival.

The opening night is planned on Tuesday July 14, 2015 with the premiere of the opera Samson and Dalila by Camille Saint-Saensa at the Croatian National Theatre Split at 21:00. To make the evening even more glamorous an pre-event in front of the Theatre building "Šušur prid Teatron" with various performances by the members of the National Theatre Split will give us a taste of this year‘s festival program.

Within the next 32 days, there will be 52 performances in 19 locations by the members of the Split National Theatre and their guests with various opera, ballet, drama, concerts, exhibitions and musicals.

It is now the 3rd year, that I am following the Split Summer Festival, but sadly only by reading its program. Although the connection from Hvar to the mainland is fairly good during the summer, there is still no way I could visit any of the performances and return home as they all start around 9 pm. And of course they do. It‘s summer. During those long hot days, there is no way anything could start any sooner, especially when there are several outdoor performances planned, like at the Sustipan. I understand that, but still, I wish Split would be closer..
