Croatia's national theatre is a yellow neo-baroque building of 1895 by the Viennese studio Fellner & Helmer, inaugurated in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph. In front stands Ivan Meštrović's 'Well of Life' fountain, a favourite meeting point for Zagreb locals. From October to June it fills with opera, ballet and drama at prices kinder than in Western Europe; booking ahead is wise. Even without a show, the facade rewards a stroll by.
Highlights
- Neo-baroque house dating to 1895
- Meštrović's 'Well of Life' fountain out front
- Opera, ballet and drama at fair prices
- Season runs October to June
