Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall ( Croatian: Koncertna dvorana Vatroslava Lisinskog) is a large concert hall and convention center in Zagreb, Croatia. It is named after Vatroslav Lisinski, a 19th-century Croatian composer. [2] The building has a big hall with 1,841 seats and a small hall with 305 seats. [2] A large lobby doubles as an exhibition area. [2]
The decision to build a new multifunctional hall in Zagreb was made in 1957. [3] A team of architects led by Marijan Haberle won the design contest. [3] The construction began in 1961, [3] but flooding and financial difficulties pushed the completion date into the next decade. [4] The hall was finally opened on 29 December 1973. [4]
The concert hall has organized a number of concerts by musicians of all genres; it serves as the stage for classical music, opera, ballet and theater performances, as well as many international congresses and conventions. [2] The hall saw 10 million visitors in the first thirty years of operation. [5] In 2007, a total of 450 different shows were put together, recording over 760,000 visitors. [2]
Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall was the venue of the 1990 Eurovision Song Contest, [6] after its first major renovation in 1989. [7] In 1992, the hall's copper roof cover was completely replaced. [7] Further reconstruction and redecoration work was done in 1999 and 2009. [1] [8]
