Amadeo - theater and music company

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Amadeo - Theater and Music Society began its activity in the summer of 2000 in the atrium of the Croatian Museum of Natural History in the upper town of Zagreb , Croatia . Between 1797 and 1834, the same building was the site of the establishment of the first Croatian public theater called Amadeo's Theater , named after its founder, the Hungarian Count Anton Amade de Varkony , the great prefect of Zagreb. Between 2006 and 2009 the company was placed in the Museum of Arts and Crafts , Zagreb. In summer 2010 it moved back to the atrium of the Croatian National History Museum.

Projects

Located on the premises of the Croatian National Historical Museum, the Amadeo Theater and Music Society made a number of contributions to its revival.

In 2001, on the facade of the Croatian National Historical Museum in Zagreb, the Amadeo Theater and Music Society unveiled a monument with its historical bilingual name from the beginning of the 19th century: "Kazaliscna Vulicza - Theater Alley".

In 2003 the Amadeo Theater and Music Society renovated the abandoned atrium of the Croatian National History Museum, led by the idea of ​​the museum advisor Jakov Radovcic. The "Kamenopisna karta Hrvatske" (a map of Croatia made of stone slabs) dominates the newly renovated atrium. The 2500 stone slabs that make up the map were collected "in situ" from all over Croatia, and the atrium itself is covered in characteristic Croatian stone. A unique geological pillar was placed in the courtyard, the floor and side lighting was created by the idea of ​​maestro Ivo Pogorelic .
