About

A modern jewel in Zagreb’s cultural crown, the Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall has been the city’s premier music venue since 1973. Named after the 19th-century composer who penned the first Croatian opera, the hall is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and diverse programming, from classical symphonies and opera to contemporary music festivals and film screenings. Its bold, angular architecture reflects the modernist spirit of post-war Croatia, making it a striking contrast to the city’s historic facades. Located just a short walk from the city centre, Lisinski invites both connoisseurs and casual listeners to experience the richness of Croatia’s musical life. The venue’s international roster of performers and commitment to cultural innovation ensure its continued status as a must-visit destination for lovers of the performing arts.
