An evening filled with music, emotions and famous melodies from world musicals brings a special musical atmosphere in which the audience becomes part of the story. This program is led by Leonora Surian Popov, a national champion with many years of theater and music experience, whose stage expression is marked by strong interpretation and love for musical theater.
In this evening, dedicated to the most beautiful numbers from Broadway and other musical classics, she is joined by her brother, baritone Stefano Surian, with whom she shares both the stage and the musical connection. With carefully selected arrangements, the occasional dance moment and a relaxed atmosphere, this evening goes beyond the framework of an ordinary concert.
A night of musicals is not just a cross-section of famous songs – it is an evening full of emotion, musical energy, and shared enjoyment of the arts.
Leonora Surian Popov comes from an artistic family and was educated in Italy, where she graduated from music and ballet school and graduated in acting from the Academy of Dramatic Arts "Silvio D'Amico" in Rome. Since 2003, she has been a permanent member of the ensemble of the Croatian National Theatre "Ivan pl. Zajc" in Rijeka, where she has performed numerous notable roles in the drama and music-scenic repertoire.
The roles of Ophelia (Hamlet), Nina (The Seagull), Margaret (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof), and Nina Filipovna in the musical Yalta, Yalta, for which she was twice nominated for the Croatian Actors' Association Award, stand out.
In addition to her theater career, she has also had television roles and released several albums (Moj mali svijet, Bijeli Božić, Nanita) in collaboration with top musicians.
She won the Croatian Actors' Association Award for her role as Norma Desmond in the musical Sunset Boulevard, and in 2025 she was awarded the title of National Drama Champion.
