SUMMARY:Photography Exhibiton - "From Marco to Polo - On the Silk Road"
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on the book “The Travels of Marco Polo\,” by the greatest adventurer of his time\, the man who connected East and West more than 700 years ago\, the author guides us through exotic\, at times surreal\, regions and cultures in search of evidence of Marco Polo’s travels. On the Silk Road\, we will encounter territories and discover numerous cultural-historical curiosities and cultural differences. We will be introduced to Islamic\, Hindu\, and Buddhist religious and civilizational spheres. The warmest deserts of Iran\, Turkmenistan\, Mongolia\, and China are depicted. The author of the exhibition and his team climbed over 5\,000 meters in Tajikistan and Tibet and traversed 18 countries. In Marco Polo’s time\, the network of trade routes was full of abundance\, but also dangers and wars. Much like today. \nIn conversations with ordinary people\, stories were heard about customs\, beliefs\, crafts\, and behaviors unknown to us\, as well as the values of life that have developed or are developing. The experience of the fantastic world and imagination has not changed much since the time of Marco Polo. \nPhotographs by: Miro Branković

SUMMARY:Marco Polo [Opera Week]
DESCRIPTION:This opera is one of many partially forgotten or lost Croatian operas\, or in this case\, destroyed. The score and nearly all orchestral parts were lost in the devastating fire that consumed the Croatian National Theatre in Split in 1970\, with the building’s reconstruction taking until 1979. \nThankfully\, the Yugoslav Composers’ Society had printed a piano reduction of the opera\, although without any notes specifying the instruments for each section. Despite this\, the piano extract played a crucial role in preserving the work. Originally composed in 1954 to commemorate the 700th anniversary of Marco Polo’s birth (1254-1954) and completed in 1955\, the opera was performed only three times in 1960 and twice in 1962. \nNow\, as we approach the 700th anniversary of Marco Polo’s death\, the time is ripe to revive this forgotten masterpiece. The revival involves an extensive orchestration project based on the existing piano reduction\, overseen by maestro Josip degl’ Ivellio\, who previously worked on the Baroque opera The Siege of Korčula. The work also includes costume design\, set design\, and direction\, all aimed at bringing this lost piece of Croatian cultural heritage back to life. \n\nTickets available for purchase at Kaleta Travel Agency and Korkyra Info. \n\nWhen buying two or more tickets\, you get 20% discount. \nIn the event of rain\, the performance will be held at the Culture Centre.
