We are especially pleased that the tickets are sold out, which is the most beautiful confirmation of everything we have built over the past ten years.

Following successful concerts across Croatia, including sold-out shows in Zagreb's Lisinski Concert Hall, the performance at Splitsko ljeto (Split Summer Festival) is considered a special honor. The ensemble views Split as a city that always welcomes them back, and the Peristil as one of Croatia's most unique stages. "The Peristil, with its ambiance, visuals, and historical importance, requires special preparation and concentration before performing," noted Vladimir Gariฤ‡.

There, I had the opportunity to sing the lead tenor role in the opera Nabucco under the direction of maestro Nikลกa Bareza. I remember the summer heat, the demanding costumes, but above all the atmosphere that this noble space provides, it simply takes your breath away.

Gariฤ‡ also reminisced about a past performance at the Peristil, where he sang the lead tenor role in the opera "Nabucco." He described the atmosphere as breathtaking. Fellow member ฤani Stipaniฤev recalled a memorable performance of "Jesus Christ Superstar" in Split, which even earned him a compliment from the late Zdenko Runjiฤ‡. The group promises a repertoire spanning a decade of their work, including opera arias, Italian canzonas, and Croatian evergreens, aiming to deliver a night of "top-tier music and a memorable atmosphere."

The performance sounded so good that the late Zdenko Runjiฤ‡ was convinced it was playback. That's one of the nicest compliments I've ever received.
