Abstract

The establishment of the theatre under the title "the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb" took place on November 24, 1860, when drama performances were played solely in the Croatian language. On August 24, 1861 the Croatian Parliament declared the Zagreb theatre a permanent institute within which the Opera began its work on October 2, 1870 and the Ballet on November 4, 1876. One of the key events in the history of the Croatian theatre arts was the opening of the new building of the Croatian National Theatre on October 14, 1895. Plan for the construction of the buliding was drawn up by famous Viennese architects Fellner and Helmer.
