Dubrovnik Summer Games stages Richard III
Entities: Lovrijenac Castle · Vito Taufer · Filip Vidović · Richard III (play) · Nina Obuljen Koržinek
Overview
In July 2026 the 77th Dubrovnik Summer Games presented a new production of Shakespeare’s tragedy Richard III. Directed by Vito Taufer, the play opened on the historic Lovrijenac (Lovrjenac) fortress on 27 July and ran nightly through 31 July. Filip Vidović led the cast as Richard III, joined by actors such as Goran Grgić, Marinko Leš and Helena Minić, with live music by Mate Matišić, Damir Josipović and Darko Terlević.
The premiere attracted locals, tourists, cultural officials and the Croatian Culture and Media Minister Nina Obuljen Koržinek. The production highlighted the festival’s aim to give Shakespeare a fresh dimension on the iconic hilltop venue, featuring elaborate costumes and a raw, energetic interpretation of the conflicted monarch. A social‑media photo of Helena Minić on the fortress sparked public commentary about her appearance and personal life.
Overall, the two snapshots track the announcement, opening night, and public reception of the Richard III staging within the Dubrovnik Summer Games.
