ZAGREB, April 1, 2019 – Popular Canadian jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall will play Opatija on July 18, while another global star, Eros Ramazzotti, will take the stage in this northern Adriatic resort on August 15, organisers of the Opatija Summer Festival have announced.
Diana Krall is one of the highest selling musical artists of the modern age, having sold over 15 million albums worldwide. She has won three Grammy Awards, eight Juno Awards and released nine gold, three platinum and seven multi-platinum albums.
The singer, who is married to British singer/songwriter Elvis Costello, released her most recent album, a collaboration with Tony Bennett titled ‘Love Is Here to Stay’, in September 2018.
Krall held her first concert in Croatia in the late 1990s.
Ramazzotti, who is popular in Italy and most European countries, and throughout the Spanish-speaking world, as he has released most of his albums in both Italian and Spanish, has released 11 studio albums, one EP, three compilation albums, three live albums, and 37 singles. He has sold over 60 million records in his 30-year career.
Global Latino star Enrique Iglesias will play Zagreb on December 1. His second concert in Croatia will be held as part of his tour “All the Hits Live”, which began on March 11, 2018 in Budapest and ends in Madrid on December 7, 2019.
In Croatia, Iglesias will perform his greatest hits, like Bailamos, Rhythm Divine, Be With You, Duele El Corazon, Subeme La Radio, El Baño, Hero and Bailando. The show in the Zagreb Arena will involve a lot of special effects, including a LED light wall of 500 m2 and pyrotechnic effects.
The last time he performed in the Croatian capital was in 2016 on his birthday. “My favourite birthday present was my performance in Croatia. It was unbelievable, it was really cool. 18,000 people came,” he said in a video posted on his Facebook page.
