Amadeo Theatre and Music Company opened in the summer of 2000 in the atrium of the Croatian Natural History Museum on Zagreb’s Upper Town. From 2006 to 2009 the Company operated in the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb. In the 2010 summer season the Amadeo Company returns to the Upper Town, to the atrium of the Croatian Natural History Museum. Thanks to its architecture and acoustics, the atrium represents an excellent site for theatre plays and concerts, along with various multimedia events.
