Kabiljo created an opus that blends political satire, humour, and the nostalgic spirit of Zagreb, leaving an indelible mark on Croatian musical theatre,\u201d said Theatre Director Miljenko Pulji\u0107 at the commemoration. Since its premiere in Zagreb in 1971, \u2018Jalta, Jalta\u2019 has been performed more than 1,500 times by various theatres and ensembles, and has been translated into German, Italian, and Norwegian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alfi Kabiljo was very active in the Croatian Composers\u2019 Society (HDS), serving as its President from 1992 to 1994. HDS Secretary General Antun Tomislav \u0160aban noted that Alfi was the only Croatian composer to have successfully worked across all genres. \u201cHe was a man of great culture, living at a remarkably refined level of civilization \u2013 such people are now exceedingly rare,\u201d he emphasized, adding that Alfi always returned to Zagreb despite his international success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alfi Kabiljo composed music for theatre, film, television, popular songs, chansons, orchestral, chamber, and solo works, as well as music for children and applied music. His compositions were featured in all major festivals. In total, 106 of his works were performed across 76 festival editions. They won first prizes or achieved high rankings at numerous international festivals. Between 1968 and 1998, he took part in 30 international festivals and received 13 awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the commemoration, the Komedija Theatre ensemble performed the song \u201cNeka cijeli ovaj svijet\u201d (\u201cMay This Whole World\u201d) from the musical \u2018Jalta, Jalta\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery js-lightbox\">\n                <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_1204-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_1204-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_1262-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_1262-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_1280-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_1280-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_1327-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_1327-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Filip Glas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 attended a commemoration in honour of composer, conductor, arranger, pianist, lyricist, and producer Alfi Kabiljo at Zagreb\u2019s Komedija Theatre \u2013 a venue shaped by his music for more than half a century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":36904,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-36905","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
