Munich Radio Orchestra - Frano Parać Judita (2025) [Official Digital Download]

This two-act, seven-scene opera is about the siege of a city by brutal foreign invaders. The biblical story of Judith, who liberates her homeland of Bethulia from its Assyrian occupiers by killing Holofernes, certainly has parallels with Croatian history, particularly that of the city of Split. From the mid-15th century onwards, the country repeatedly fought against incursions by the Ottoman Empire – and Split in Dalmatia was particularly vulnerable to the attacks of the Turks, who advanced to its gates. The poet Marko Marulić (1450–1524) alludes to these events in allegorical form in his epic Judita, completed in 1501. One of the earliest poetic works in the Croatian language, it established Marulić’s reputation as the father of Croatian literature.
