Nikola Šubić Zrinjski

In the new staging of Zajč's most famous opera "Nikola Šubić Zrinjski", Dora Ruždjak Podolski seeks a different perspective on the work that the audience knows well. The theatre saw in her directorial imagination and willingness to make bold moves an opportunity for a performance that will remain in the repertoire of the Rijeka Opera for years. About the production • The premiere and first reruns were conducted by Ville Matvejeff, the principal guest conductor of the Rijeka Opera. The theatre highlights his work on Zajč's opera as a rare, perhaps previously unrecorded example of a conductor of non-Slavic origin conducting this work. • In the premiere performance, the title role was sung by the Opera's champion Robert Kolar, and his wife Eva by the champion Kristina Kolar.
