Historic Theatre of Hvar 1612

Mirjana Kolumbić Šćepanović

Sažetak

The paper offers a historical review of the Historic theatre of Hvar. It was built on the order of the duke of Hvar, Pietro Semitecolo as a tribute to peace between the classes of Hvar. It is the third theatre of closed type – the ones in Vicenza and Sabbionetta are older, but the first that could be entered equally by the nobles and the commoners. The theatre is a result of a rich tradition of Medieval plays and renaissance dramas. In this paper its activity is placed in a context of other European theatres. The description of its setting and events taking part in it were given to us in 1712 by a writer from Vis, Antun Matijašević Karamaneo. After a brief interruption at the end of the 18th century, the Theatre was renovated by the Theatre society, first of the type in Croatia and gave it its current look. In the 19th century its program was very modern. In the past years it has been closed due to renovation which is now coming to an end. This should finally allow Hvar to finally reproduce Semitecolo’s vision and to revive theatre life in the city.
