2026-07-15
The dramatic program of the 77th Dubrovnik Summer Festival is exceptionally rich and varied. In addition to exciting guest appearances and favorite reruns, it will offer festival audiences a continued exploration and development of dynamic co-production and ambient concepts, as well as major premieres. This summer, the first drama premiere will be a co-production of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival and the Marin Držić Theatre – The Miser, one of Marin Držić's classics, directed by Paolo Magelli and staged at Ruđer Bošković Square. The two main motifs of the plot are love and gold—that is, money—and the miserliness of the old man Skup. Držić writes about human weaknesses that continue to shape society, politics, family life, and interpersonal relationships today.
