Amadeo Stage
The Amadeo Club Theatre and Music Stage began operating in the summer of 2000 in the atrium of the Croatian Natural History Museum located in Zagreb’s Upper Town. From 2006 to 2009, the stage operated within the Museum of Arts and Crafts. In the 2010 summer season, Amadeo Stage returned to the Upper Town and the atrium of the Croatian Natural History Museum — a space whose architecture and acoustics provide an excellent setting for theatre performances, concerts, and a variety of multimedia events.
For many years, Amadeo Stage has been the only summer multi-purpose stage in Zagreb with a program running throughout July, August, and September. On average, around fifty theatre performances, concerts, and film screenings are presented each summer, featuring more than two hundred renowned Croatian and international artists.
The Amadeo Stage Program Board has established high standards in selecting its music, theatre, and film programs. In the musical segment, the focus is on classical music concerts, with special emphasis on performances by young talented musicians, jazz concerts featuring acclaimed Croatian and international artists, as well as ethno and popular music performances. In selecting theatre programs, the board focuses on premiere and revival chamber theatre and ballet performances, monodramas, and stand-up theatre by Croatian and international authors. Amadeo Stage is also open to film programs, including Motovun in Zagreb held during the 2001 and 2007 seasons, and the Pula in Zagreb film program in the 2010 season.
