Basically, the theatre curtain separates the auditorium from the stage, space from time and time from space, this side from the other side, so lifting the curtain on the show immerses the spectator into the enchanting world of art.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theatre curtains can be major players in the play itself \u2013 just think of the Varijete Europa (Orfej) play by Tea Tupaji\u0107 at the Zagreb Youth Theatre, or a more recent example of The Adventurer at the Door play by Helena Petkovi\u0107 at the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb. Many thespian devotees lament contemporary theatre performances starting under curtains that have already been lifted, which strips these beetling witnesses to the history of a certain nation and area of their meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Zeljezni-zastor-Kamilo-Tompa-i-Frano-Simunovic-1024x686.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Zeljezni-zastor-Kamilo-Tompa-i-Frano-Simunovic-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Zeljezni-zastor-Kamilo-Tompa-i-Frano-Simunovic-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Zeljezni-zastor-Kamilo-Tompa-i-Frano-Simunovic-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Zeljezni-zastor-Kamilo-Tompa-i-Frano-Simunovic.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Iron Curtain, Kamilo Tompa i Frano \u0160imunovi\u0107<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The respectable scholar, editor, and musicologist Zdravko Bla\u017eekovi\u0107, director of the Research Center for Music Iconography at The City University of New York, gave a compelling lecture this winter and sparked interest in theatre curtains. It was the first opportunity for the audiences to see all eight curtains on the stage of the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb at once, and the jam-packed theatre that November morning gave a standing ovation to Professor Bla\u017eekovi\u0107, who not only talked about our theatre gems, but also the rich and remarkable history of theatre curtains in Europe and the world alike, bringing forth a series of well- and lesser-known details.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, before the unification of Italy, its legendary La Scala theatre also had curtains in the boxes. When they were drawn, important political talks took place behind the curtain. Curtains in Baroque theatres usually depicted motifs from ancient mythology and clearly painted the picture of the extent of power of royal or aristocratic theatre owners. During the Romantic era, artists used their brushes on curtains to stroke the ego of royal houses, presenting compositions teeming with patriotic messages, while Italian theatres favoured themes related to local history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Cetiri-godisnja-doba-I.L.Croata-1024x686.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Cetiri-godisnja-doba-I.L.Croata-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Cetiri-godisnja-doba-I.L.Croata-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Cetiri-godisnja-doba-I.L.Croata-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Cetiri-godisnja-doba-I.L.Croata.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Four Seasons, I.

Cro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The most illustrious curtains in Europe and the world were predominantly made by great artists, but the biggest change was brought about by the famous German composer Richard Wagner in the middle of the 19th century. Wagner asserted that it is better for both art and people who come to the theatre when the curtain slowly parts, gradually immersing the spectators into the theatre and the magical world of art, which is not the case when the curtain abruptly lifts before their eyes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout its history, the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb has amassed one iron and seven painted curtains that are unveiled on various festive occasions. This is, as Bla\u017eekovi\u0107 pointed out, an exceptionally large number of curtains even for the largest theatre, and the drapes in question were made by some of the most prominent Croatian visual artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Titov-naprijed-Frano-Simunovic-1024x686.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Titov-naprijed-Frano-Simunovic-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Titov-naprijed-Frano-Simunovic-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Titov-naprijed-Frano-Simunovic-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Titov-naprijed-Frano-Simunovic.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tito&#8217;s forward, Frano \u0160imunovi\u0107 <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the present building of the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb on the Trg Republike Hrvatske square opened its doors on October 14, 1895, the history of the first curtain stretches back half a century further to the old theatre in the Upper Town, also known as the Stankovi\u0107 Theatre, which was the centre stage of the city\u2019s cultural and theatrical life with a capacity of more than 750 seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Djed, unuk i vila (\u201cThe Grandfather, the Grandson, and the Fairy\u201d) is the forefather of all the theatre\u2019s ceremonial curtains, and it is attributed to the painter Vjekoslav Karas. It was put up around 1850 and it is the only preserved artefact from the stage equipment of the old theatre in the Upper Town.

When deciding on a theme for the ceremonial curtain, Mileti\u0107 was guided by the idea of cultural unity between the two Croatian centres, namely Zagreb and Dubrovnik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although history and collective consciousness remember Vlaho Bukovac, who painted the foreground (Bela \u010ciko\u0161 Sesija helped him put things into perspective), as the author of the entire curtain, the decorative frame of Illyrian Revival is the work of the painter Ferdo Kova\u010devi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Davo-u-selu-Ivan-Lovrencic-1024x686.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3022\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Davo-u-selu-Ivan-Lovrencic-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Davo-u-selu-Ivan-Lovrencic-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Davo-u-selu-Ivan-Lovrencic-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Davo-u-selu-Ivan-Lovrencic.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Devil In The Village, Ivan Lovren\u010di\u0107 <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The preeminent Croatian theatre curtain, measuring six meters in height and nine meters in width, is nothing short of a cultural monument, and Bukovac was awarded a whopping six thousand forints for his contribution to the art scene of the region. In 1999, after a hundred years of wear and tear, the curtain was replaced by a replica made by the painters Ivica \u0160i\u0161ko and Eugen Kokot, and the original is kept in the depot of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The painting on the curtain depicts the vestibule of the ancient temple where the Dubrovnik poet Ivan Gunduli\u0107 sits surrounded by fairies, and 19 people, mostly revivalists, come to pay homage to him: Ljudevit Gaj, Antun Mihanovi\u0107, Janko Dra\u0161kovi\u0107, Dimitrije Demeter, Antun Ma\u017eurani\u0107, Mirko Bogovi\u0107, Stanko Vraz, Ivan Kukuljevi\u0107, Pavao \u0160toos, Petar Preradovi\u0107, Antun Nem\u010di\u0107, Vatroslav Lisinski, Branimir Livadi\u0107, Ljudevit Vukotinovi\u0107, and Dragutin Rakovac, as well as theatre artists Josip Freudenreich, Adam Mandrovi\u0107, and two women \u2013&nbsp; Sidonija Erd\u00f6dy Rubido and Marija Ru\u017ei\u010dka-Strozzi..&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the background, through the trellis of the ancient building, one can see the skyline of Dubrovnik and the Min\u010deta tower, and the hoi polloi from the Dubrovnik area celebrating freedom, as well as Zagreb and the inhabitants of Northern Croatia.
