Croatian National Theatre

A beautiful building with exceptional architecture and beautiful halls. We had booked a tour during the day and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Zagreb. The tour was with a guide whose stories and knowledge about the theater and its history were simply fascinating. We had the opportunity to see rooms that are intended only for those who work there, We saw the dressing room, the rehearsal room, we walked along the corridors where only the ballet dancers go when they go to the stage, the equipment with which great effects are achieved during a performance. I could endlessly list the places we saw and the interesting facts about this theater that the tour guide told us. We were very lucky to touch what happens behind the curtains and the stage. I highly recommend this tour and I can say that it was the greatest experience of our visit to Zagreb.

Okay place to walk and stop for a while. To drink or to catch your breath. Enjoy the scenery. Lots of bench. Easy to reach through tram. Also interesting building right in front of it, which I found very resemblant of central european style building. Nothing else to do or eat or see but yeah one of the tourist photo spot!

I love this theater and would like to rate it with five stars but the process of getting a ticket for a performance was just too cumbersome. I was visiting with my brother and a performance of Peer Gynt was there on the day we arrived. I tried to purchase tickets online but the website would allow me to do so as it requires a Croatian bankcard. I emailed the box office and they said they'd hold two tickets for me at the box office but three days prior I'd have to confirm that I wanted to attend. I did this and don't regret it. The performance was excellent and a great way of experiencing the culture of Croatia. The building is beautiful and of significant historical value. On the day I arrived I went to the box office at the time when the email from the box office said they'd be open. It was closed. I walked over and got lunch and came back when the sign said it would be open and there was no one in the office. I called out and someone came from the back and said the system was down and I'd need to come back in two hours. I told them I was there to pick up tickets for that nights performance and insisted on getting the tickets. All of a sudden the system was able to give me the tickets and accept my payment. The tickets they held for me were the worst in the house. To say the least I was very disappointed as I had contact the box office four months prior to my visit and they should that seats were available all over the theater. I even mentioned in the email the seats I was trying to reserve. But instead of saving those seats for me, they held the two worst seats in the house.

Amazing theatre! It's very beautiful and has a romantic atmosphere. You can go out on the roof terrace and see the city. The production was also good. L'Arlésienne / Carmen, Roland Petit - was first performed on this stage that day.

My heart belongs to this place. Everyone makes a great job and overall impression is superior in most cases. I can recomed the classic operas the most: the voices and decorations are mind-blowing! P.S. Also a nice place to walk around

I would give six stars if I could. What a wonderful park where the theatre so , with sculpture and beautiful flowers . Lovely architecture

Traviata was excelent, singing was very exciting experience

The Candlelight concert by the White quartet was a magical experience. The warm glow of candles created an intimate atmosphere, perfectly complementing the beautiful and emotional performance. A truly unforgettable evening of music and ambiance.
