MADLENIANUM Opera and Theatre was founded in 1997 as the first private opera in this part of Europe. The founder and the donor of MADLENIANUM is Mrs. Madlena Zepter, whose investments in culture and art represent the largest personal benefactor deed in this domain, not only in our country, but also in the European range in general. Madlenianum has been organized as a model of a new musical-scenic theatre in our country, without its permanent ensemble, but with a permanent organization and administration apparatus and a technical team.
