LADO, Croatia's National Folk Ensemble, was established in Zagreb in 1949 with the aim of exploring, interpreting in an artistic manner, and presenting on the stage the finest pieces from the country's musical and folk dance heritage. The ensemble enlisted the best known Croatian experts on folk culture and music, choreographers, composers and conductors, who find folk music to be a source of inspiration. LADO's repertoire consists of more than one hundred different choreographies, as well... as several hundred vocal, instrumental and vocal-instrumental numbers, through which it is able to present a rich and diverse cross-section of Croatia's music and dance heritage. The ensemble's 37 brilliant dancers and singers can easily transform this folk dance ensemble into an impressive folk choir, while its 14 superb musicians play some 80 different traditional and classical instruments. LADO owns a unique collection of more than 1,200 original national costumes of great value and beauty, and through its performances also provides a glimpse into a rich repository of traditional Croatian dress.
LADO's performances around the world have generated universal acclaim from both audiences and critics, who consider it to be one of the finest folk dance and vocal ensembles around.
