This year's 73rd Dubrovnik Summer Festival will open on Sunday, July 10 at 9 p.m. in front of the Church of St. Blaise with the raising of the Libertas flag to the lyrics of the Hymn to Freedom.

A rich and varied program in which domestic and foreign audiences of all ages will enjoy the upcoming 47 festival days was presented at a press conference today in the Sponza Palace, by Dora Ruždjak Podolski, director of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival, and Paulina Njirić, director's representative, while the mayor of Dubrovnik, Mato Franković, expressed his support for the festival.

“What is extremely important is that this 73rd edition of the festival is actually a return to the old days; for the first time in two years. I must also emphasize how important the support of the Ministry, the City and the County was for us in 2020 and 2021, because if the festival had not been held in its full format then, I would not be sure that today we would have such a rich program and be able to look strategically at the future, which is certainly ahead of us - stressed the Podolski.

The entire program of this year's festival and tickets are available online on the festival's website www.dubrovnikfestival.hr and through the service www.ulaznice.hr, and also at the box office in the Festival Palace (Od Sigurate 1), which is open every day from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
