The bustling walled city of Dubrovnik presents its annual summer festival. A dramatic opening ceremony with fireworks and music is followed by theatre, concerts, opera and dance productions on a series of open-air stages throughout this fascinating city.
The musical part of the festival was initially imagined as a showcase for the best domestic composers, soloists and orchestras, but today it has grown to become a real review of top solo artists and ensembles from all round the world. Opera, ballet and dance are also welcome visitors.
Full details of this year's performances can be found on the festival website.
