Lado

The ensemble of Croatian folk dances and songs LADO is a national professional folk ensemble founded in 1949, aiming to study and gather artistic interpretations and stage performances of the best examples of rich Croatian music and dance tradition. Excellent dancers, 37 in total, who are also excellent singers, easily transform from a dance ensemble into a representative folk choir, while 15 fantastic musicians play about fifty traditional and classic instruments.

In its work LADO gathers the most renowned Croatian ethno-choreologists and choreographers, score-writers and folklorists, as well as composers and conductors inspired by folk musical creation. All of that resulted in imposing choreographic and music repertoire with more than a hundred vocal, instrumental and vocal-instrumental pieces. With its repertoire LADO represents Croatian heritage created at the crossroads of cultures, enriched by Mediterranean, Balkan, Pannonian and Alpine influences.
The ensemble LADO owns a unique collection of original folk costumes of extraordinary value and beauty (more than 1200 outfits), some of which are more than a hundred years old, and therefore it is rightfully called “the traveling museum”.
