The building is in pretty rough shape. Cracks from the 2020 earthquake are still visible after four years, the last renovation was in the 60s. The tour lasts an hour and costs €12, which feels steep given the condition of the theater. Many chandelier bulbs are out, so you’ll miss its splendor. If you buy tickets for a performance, be cautious about seat selection; many seats have poor views of the stage since in my opinion it was designed more for socializing and seeing the emperor back in the days rather than for good sight lines of the show. The drama performances aren’t translated into English or any other language. If you’re not a big theater fan, the tour might not be worth it.

This beautiful 1895 neo-baroque will amaze time after time you visit it. The interior decoration is chic, beautiful and eye catching. The seats are fancy and functional and the shoes are marvelous! I've seen several ballets and one opera. The choreography is world class. The costumes are world class. The dancers are world class. Simply, a must visit for everyone, locals and tourists alike. P.S. I'm not "just saying" the shows are world class. I've seen the famous Great Gatsby ballet and comparing it to ballets or Croatian national theater, it was horrendous! So big props to our guys working at the Croatian national theater.

Teatro Nazionale Croato - Eleganza e Cultura nel Cuore di Zagabria Il Croatian National Theatre è una gemma architettonica e culturale che ogni visitatore di Zagabria dovrebbe includere nel proprio itinerario. Con la sua facciata imponente e un ricco programma artistico, rappresenta un’esperienza imperdibile per gli amanti della cultura. Architettura Situato in Piazza della Repubblica, il teatro colpisce immediatamente per la sua magnificenza. Progettato in stile neobarocco dagli architetti viennesi Helmer e Fellner, il suo edificio è un simbolo di eleganza e raffinatezza. L’interno, con decorazioni elaborate e una splendida sala principale, trasporta i visitatori in un’atmosfera d’altri tempi. Spettacoli Il teatro offre una vasta gamma di spettacoli, tra cui opere, balletti e concerti. La qualità delle performance è eccellente, con artisti di talento e produzioni che spaziano dai classici ai contemporanei. Anche se non parli croato, l’esperienza visiva e musicale è di alto livello. Aspetti positivi Un punto di riferimento culturale: Perfetto per chi vuole scoprire la scena artistica croata. Visita guidata: Se il tempo lo permette, prenota una visita guidata per approfondire la storia e l’architettura del teatro. Ottima posizione: Situato in una zona centrale, è facile da raggiungere e circondato da altri punti di interesse. Aspetti da migliorare Abbiamo assegnato 4 stelle anziché 5 per piccoli dettagli: alcune parti dell’edificio avrebbero bisogno di un po’ di manutenzione e i sottotitoli nelle opere potrebbero essere migliorati per i visitatori internazionali. Conclusione Il Teatro Nazionale Croato non è solo un edificio storico, ma un luogo vivo, dove arte e cultura si incontrano. Noi di FoodTripGo lo consigliamo vivamente per un’esperienza culturale che arricchisce qualsiasi viaggio a Zagabria.

Beautiful small theater. Every seat feels like it's close to the stage and the boxes are a throwback to another era where they unlock your box for you, it only has 4 seats and feels super intimate. The ceiling paintings and lights are beautiful as well. We saw the ballet production of Swan Lake, which was beautifully done. Tickets were inexpensive as well (120 kuna for a box seat on the loge level). If you can see a show, would highly recommend it, but if not, even getting the chance to view the interior is well with it.

A theater for classic events: operas, ballets, theater performances... When you are in, you feel transported to the times of great european composers. Well preserved and organized, it is a real privilege to attend an opera in Hrvatski Narodno Kazaliste. Excellent, synchronized orchestras, wonderful singers and performances. Cost accesible for anybody interested in the cultural heritage of european music. Easily to get there either by tram lines (a few meters away from theater) and Voltino-Trg Mazuranica bus line (118).

Decide to visit this theatre not as a tourist as a regular resident of Zagreb and it was a fantastic experience..... I saw the opera Il Trovatore. The opera was translated with subtitles in English and Croatian language . All sang in Italian. The place is so beautiful inside very old fashion decorated, seems like you are stepping in the 1800s and going back in time. The people inside working where helpful, the prices are not that expensive Worth it to have the experience 😊😊😊
