DANCE OPENING OF THE 54TH MUSICAL EVENINGS IN ST. DONAT

Ceremony opening of a new cycle of summer concerts under the starry sky of Zadar

At Monday, July 7th beginning at 9:30pm, under the direction of Ivan Repušić who has this honor after nine years, Croatian Radiotelevision Choir and Orchestra will magnify traditional opening of the Evenings on Forum square in front of medieval Zadar’s Rotunda. Prominent Croatian guitarist Petrit Çeku, tenor Stjepan Franetović and Russian violinist Nikita Borisoglebsky together will contribute to the creation of intoxicating dance atmosphere whose infectious breath will fulfill all the upcoming concerts of the new season of Musical Evenings. A series of classical pieces, which undoubtedly represent the finest blend of classical and dance music, will echo through the streets of the city core and celebrate the beginning of a new musical summer. Charming orchestral number from Bizet’s orchestral suite L’Arlésienne will launch the inexhaustible avalanche of timeless classical pieces interwoven with dance strands, which will allow Pogorelic at a guitar, tenor of the Croatian National Opera in Zagreb and prestigious Russian violinist with impressive biography to show their musical mastery. Besides the most popular orchestral and choir pieces by Bizet, Verdi, Chabrier, Dvořák, Brahms and Khachaturian in the performance of respectable Croatian orchestra under the direction of great Zadar’s maestro, a diverse repertoire contains opera pieces by Rossini and Gotovac, a guitar piece by Dyens and film music by Myeres and violin pieces by Wieniawsky and Tchaikovsky.
