Dora Jana Klarić trained in Split and Berlin and has already given notable performances in Croatian theatres and on international stages. Her interpretations in operas such as Il trittico, Madama Butterfly, Die Zauberflöte and La traviata stand out for their expressiveness and vocal strength, and she has won multiple awards at prestigious competitions.

Florian Tavić, trained in Zagreb and Karlsruhe, made his operatic debut at an early age and has since taken on a series of notable roles. His repertoire ranges from the operas of Verdi and Bizet to major concert scores such as Carmina Burana.

Darijan Ivezić was born in 1990 in Novska and completed his conducting studies in 2014 at the Music Academy in Zagreb in the class of Maestro Uroš Lajovic. Since 2013, he has been a member of the Opera of the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb, where he works as artistic director of role studies and assistant conductor, and he is also music director of the Croatian Opera Academy in Varaždin. He spent four seasons at the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz in Munich and collaborated with the ensembles of the Bavarian Radio. In the 2023/2024 season, he returned to the Opera ensemble of the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb and established new conducting collaborations, such as those with the Sarajevo Philharmonic and the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra, while also serving as an external associate assistant at the IV Department of Singing of the Music Academy in Zagreb.
