Once again, Valamar is sponsoring the Midsummer Scene Festival in Dubrovnik – a Croatian theatre festival in English which takes place from 22 June to 7 July at Fort Lovrjenac and marks ten years of rich cultural offer and international cooperation. This year’s centrepiece is a musical – an adaptation of Jules Verne’s classic entitled “Around the World in Eighty Days”. Last year's world premiere of this hit won the hearts of the audience and this year, it returns to the Lovrjenac stage with even greater splendour and excitement.

The adaptation is written by award-winning English playwright and director Sean Aita, while the music is the work of French actor and composer Léo Elso. The musical will be performed by a five-member ensemble of actors who will take the audience on an unforgettable journey around the world through dance, music, and adventures.

In addition to the main production, visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy the programme at the Rector’s Palace, including the “Marlene Dietrich” musical show performed by actress Ksenija Prohaska and “The Stringbreaker” concert by pianist Matej Meštrović, dedicated to the UNESCO World Heritage Year in Dubrovnik.

Midsummer Scene has become a recognisable international theatre event at Fort Lovrjenac in Dubrovnik. Over the past nine seasons, the festival has been attended by more than 30,000 visitors from all over the world, and as many as 200 plays have been staged in its own production in English.

This year, once again, the festival promises an unforgettable experience for all lovers of art and culture. Don’t miss the opportunity to join this magical journey through the world of theatre and music in Dubrovnik.
