Madlenianum Opera and Theatre

Madlenianum Opera and Theatre is a modern opera house and theatre in Zemun with seating for around 500 people. The venue stages both operatic and theatrical productions, serving as a key performance space in the local arts scene.

The venue was founded in 1997 and became accessible to the public after undergoing significant reconstruction work over several years. This transformation of a former theatrical space and its private founding made it a pioneering institution in the region.

The venue presents classical operas alongside contemporary plays, ballet performances, and musical productions featuring both Serbian and international artists. This blend of European works and local creations gives the space a role as a crossroads for different performance traditions.

The venue sits in the historic heart of Zemun and is easily accessible on foot from the surrounding area. Visitors can check the official website for current performances, book tickets, and find public transportation options.

The building underwent extensive reconstruction in multiple phases before reopening in its current form. This gradual transformation over several years gave the space a second life and continues to define its character today.
