The bustling walled city of Dubrovnik hosts its spectacular and one of the
oldest European festivals – the Dubrovnik Summer Festival – presenting rich
and vibrant theatre, ballet, opera, classical music, jazz, fine arts, film
and folklore programme. The ambience and the City as a unique meeting place
of the world's and Croatia's finest artists remain the basic feature of the
forthcoming 69th Festival. Review of top solo artists like Mischa
Maisky, Daniil Trifonov and Cameron Carpenter to name a few, chamber ensembles
and orchestras from all around the world will be performing this year on
remarkable historical squares, palaces, churches, gardens and streets of
the Renaissance-Baroque City of Dubrovnik.

Crucial for the success of the Festival are its longevity and continuously
high artistic standard, but also the Festival’s concept, which makes it
different from numerous other European summer festivals. Namely, unlike
the majority of other summer festivals, the Dubrovnik Summer Festival doesn’t
use open air venues as mere visual attractions and face walls of the
palaces and beautiful gardens only as sets. In Dubrovnik the space is
decisive in creating a theatrical event. That is the reason why our catalogue,
during the almost six decades of existence, comprises nearly 120 various
venues! That actually means almost the entire City and the sea surrounding
it, which results in a unique bond between the City and the Festival.
