Zagreb is once again getting ready for another memorable event which will take place on the 4th and 6th of January at Sljeme, where the world's best slalom skiers will compete for points in the World Ski Cup.

Due to their immense popularity around the world, the renowned Croatian violoncellists, Stjepan Hauser and Luka Šulić, collectively known as 2cellos, will once again attract a large crowd to the Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall on December 22nd, where they will perform a somewhat different repertoire with the Zagreb Soloists; classical music will briefly replace their recognizable rock style.

Until January 6th next year, Zagreb’s Museum of Arts and Crafts will feature the exhibition “Advent at the Museum of Arts and Crafts”, dedicated to Christmas holiday traditions – gift giving, room decorating, cake making and card-crafting… Although very appealing, this exhibition is but a part of the magic offered by this year’s Advent in Zagreb.

From the beginning of 2013, the Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall will present new productions, which the Zagreb audience will have an opportunity to see within Lisinski’s Metropolitan Programme. The repertoire includes Trojans by Hector Berlioz on January 5th, Maria Stuarda by Gaetano Donizetti on January 19th, and the Vienna Boys Choir on January 26th.

Although there is still plenty of time left until June of next year, everyone who wants to make sure not to miss performances by global music stars at the upcoming INmusic Festival 2013 can already purchase their tickets, in a special Christmas package, for only 320 kuna.

Zagreb’s Modern Gallery is commemorating the 85th anniversary of the death of Croatian painter and art historian, Isidor Kršnjavi, with the exhibition titled “Kršnjavi, Quiquerez, Mašić – Dawn Impressions”. From November 21st until December 9th audiences can appreciate a symbiosis of works by the three artists which clearly demonstrates that Croatian painting was well on its way towards impressionism.

Until December 14th, Zagreb’s Typhlological Museum, a unique and special museum in Europe which deals with the problems of disabled persons, especially the blind and visually impaired, will feature an interesting exhibition, “Crossing the Boundaries”, which demonstrates the greatness of disabled athletes.

To commemorate its 30 years of existence, Zagreb’s Klovićevi Dvori Gallery is presenting the public with some of the greatest works by the globally renowned miniaturist of the Renaissance, Julije Klović, after whom the gallery was named. This exhibition, which will remain open to the public until January 20th 2013, is a very rare opportunity to see the great artist’s oeuvre in one place.
