The historical spectacle Veronika Deseniška, which returns to the stage this summer, was seen by 12,000 spectators last season. The musical impressed with its beautiful original music, imaginative script, a powerful transformation of Celje's Old Castle with a large stage and 3D projections, and a convincing cast of more than 50 singers, actors, dancers, and musicians. 

During the conversation, the audience will get a behind-the-scenes look at Celje's largest cultural project of this millennium.

What challenges and difficulties did the large artistic, technical and organizational team face? How to find top singers and actors for a musical that is still developing in Slovenia? How do you write and then perform a musical-theater work that lasts more than two hours? How to turn a medieval fortress into a theater venue with the most modern stage technology? What happens when everything finally goes according to plan, but then the premiere performance is visited by an extreme summer storm?

We are already looking forward to your visit.

The event will be in the Music Film section.
