LADO Celebrates Croatia at PlayhouseSquare, 10/20

Celebrate the rich cultural traditions of Croatia with LADO, the National Folk Dance Ensemble of Croatia on Tuesday, October 20th at PlayhouseSquare. Founded in 1949 in Zagreb, Croatia, LADO is a professional ensemble with the aim of researching, artistically interpreting and presenting the most beautiful examples of the rich traditions of Croatian music and dance.

This special tour features over 30 brilliant dancers (who are also excellent singers) and is choreographed in a manner so that it can effortlessly shift from a folk ensemble to an impressive folk choir. Its repertoire, which consists of over a hundred different choreographies and several hundred vocal and instrumental numbers helps define the cultural Eastern European treasure and history of Croatia. LADO is often called a "Dancing Museum" because of the priceless authentic national costumes worn in the show; some of which are 100 years old.

This performance will also incorporate new choreographic works based on traditional motifs and elements.

LADO performs on Tuesday, October 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the Allen Theatre at PlayhouseSquare. Ticket prices range from $10-$45 and are available at The PlayhouseSquare Ticket Office (1519 Euclid Avenue), by calling 216-241-6000 or online at playhousesquare.org.
