From the Croatian bass, Goran Jurić:

Yesterday:
9:51 train STUTTGART – FRANKFURT
12:00 flight FRANKFURT – ZAGREB
Hello Zagreb, hello Croatia! What a well deserved mini vacation after my Lohengrin at the Staatsoper Stuttgart, yay!!!
But, as I was getting off the plane, I got a call from my agent:
17:55 flight ZAGREB – BRUXELLES
20:41 train BRUXELLES – ANTWERP
😂

Today: I learnt the staging of a 4-hour opera.

Tomorrow: I jump in Lohengrin as KÖNIG HEINRICH at the Opera Vlaanderen!!! 👑⚔️

And, yes, a glass of Cedevita and 2h spent at the Zračna luka Zagreb – Zagreb Airport count as a mini vacation! 😎🏖️

Afterthought:

It’s a great honor and inspiration to sing this piece in Antwerp, cause that’s where the plot of this opera happens!
