Journalists from Novi list, Radio Rijeka, Kanal RI, Ve\u010dernji list, HINA , HRT and Jutarnji list assembled on Tuesday, 29 May in front of the Croatian National Theatre \u201cIvan pl. Zajc\u201d for a visit to key locations and infrastructure projects of the European Capital of Culture.<\/p>\n
The Croatian National Theatre \u201cIvan pl. Zajc\u201d is an important partner in the project and one of the most visited cultural institutions in Croatia. Although he could not reveal too much about the programme for 2020, due to the organisation’s procedural rules, the artistic director Marin Bla\u017eevi\u0107 shared with journalists some of the already agreed upon productions and co-productions, among which Oliver Frlji\u0107’s play based on Goran Stefanovski\u2019s text, performed on a train passing through the city, is probably most interesting to journalists.<\/p>\n
