Zagreb Classic festival lights up King Tomislav Square with opera and musical performances

The Zagreb Classic summer festival took place at King Tomislav Square in Zagreb, featuring a program of musical theatre excerpts and Verdi opera arias. During one evening, opera singers performed the song “Moj Zagreb tak imam te rad,” prompting the conductor to invite the artists back for an encore that involved the audience joining in the singing.

Attendees described the event as a source of peace and relaxation, turning the city’s summer atmosphere into a holiday‑like experience without leaving town.
