The Croatian National Theatre Ivan Zajc

For over two centuries theatre tradition has been continuously promoted in the City of Rijeka. In 1953, the Rijeka theatre was named after Ivan Zajc. In 1991, the theatre was assigned the status of a national theatre. The programme is realised through activities of the Croatian and Italian Drama ensembles, the Opera and the Ballet ensembles and concert activity.

Croatian National TheatreThe carefully selected repertoire of the Rijeka Theatre contributes to its distinctness. New interpretations of drama, opera and ballet classics are performed or plays belonging to Croatian drama and opera heritage, premières of national plays are performed, with an emphasis on modern and young authors, while also regularly surveying the latest global theatre trends in the field of performing arts.

Since 2004 the Theatre has been the organiser of the manifestation "Rijeka Summer Nights". The Theatre is a member of the European Theatre Convention.
