    The Croatian National Theatre (Hrvatsko Naradno Kazaliste) was finished in 1895 according to the design of two Viennese architects (Hellmer and Fellner). The Neo-Baroque building is surrounded by many other monumental buildings which represent the Croatian architecture.

    One of the most spectacular buildings in Zagreb is the Croatian National Theatre (Hrvatsko Narodno Kazaliste) at Trg Marsala Tita (Marshall Tito Square). I only saw it in the evening and with the different colours it looked very fancy. If only they had chosen a different colour than magenta. I bet T-Com sponsored the lights....

    At Trg Marsala Tita you also find the museum of arts and crafts (Muzej Za Umjetnost i Obrt). In there there was a nice photography exhibition we went to. The collection of furniture and stuff on the 1st floor like that was kinda boring though and we were followed by a lady watching us all the time which didn't help making it much more fun I'm afraid. There were some nice photographs on the top floor though.

    Now this is a solid, yet ornate building!! It is the dominant structure in Trg marsala Tita (Marshall Tito Square). The blueprints were made by Viennese architects Ferdinand Fellner and Herman Helmer and the theater opened in 1895 and was really a bold statement by Emperor Franz Josef that the city was becoming more of a cultural center in Europe. In front of the building is an interesting work by the ubiquitous Ivan Mestrovic called Well of Life.

    known in croatian as the HNK (hrvatsko narodno kazaliste), the croatian national theatre is an amazing building, finished in 1895, and designed by two viennese architects. the exterior of course is beautiful, but the inside is even more amazing.

    i was most fortunate in my first visit to zagreb to get a ticket to see a performace of shakespeare's hamlet, with the star being goran visnjic, known to most as dr kovac on the series ER. he was amazing, as was the rest of the cast, and its one of the best performances of hamlet i have seen. inside the theatre, the atmosphere was electric. beautiful red carpets, golden glowing walls, amazing chandeliers... the epitome of refined elegance and sophistication. it was definitely an experience i will always remember.

    ever since then, in my past 4 visits to the city, i've always stopped by the theatre, sat on its steps, gone inside if i can, and relived that night once again. i guess the HNK will always leave me with that feeling in my heart.

    One of Zagreb's many wonderful turn-of-the-century buildings is its National Theater. If you've been to Vienna, you won't be surprised to learn that it was built by Viennese architects Ferdinand Fellner and Herman Helmer, as the style is very similar to that of the Austrian capital. They also built several theaters in Vienna.

    The National Theatre
    by Santini738
    The Croatian National Theatre is located in Zagreb the capital of Croatia. It was established in 1840. The following year it gained government support putting it on par with many of other national theatres around Europe. In 1870 a national opera company was formed based out of the theatre.

    From the very beginning, the repertoire of the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb was very rich and various including the world classics, national tradition and contemporary works. Even though it was basically founded as a national cultural centre, the Croatian National Theatre has never stayed closed within itself, but it readily accepted and created diverse cultural links, opening its space to all theatrical cultures and giving guest performances all around the world, from America, throughout Europe, to the Far East. In its soon to be 150 years of history, the Croatian National Theatre has given a pleiad of the greatest artists and writers, actors and directors, set and costume designers, world famous opera and ballet principals, conductors and choreographers.
