The theatre in Po\u017eega has a long tradition dating back to the 18th century, even though the first professional theatre opened in 1945. The theatre is located in the main square and right next to it you will find the Theatre Cafe, equally popular before and after the theatre shows. The theatre produces its repertoire but you can often see theatre shows produced by other Croatian theatres. One of the more famous events held in the theatre building is the international film festival \u201cThe Croatian one-minute film festival\u201d.<\/p>\n
It is interesting to know that Po\u017eega, even though its theatre might be regarded as small, was home to many great Croatian and even World artists, such as Vilma No\u017eini\u0107, famous opera singer and Mia Oremovi\u0107, in Croatia best known for her role in the beloved film musical \u201cTko pjeva, zlo ne misli\u201d. Other famous Croatian theatre and film actors born in Po\u017eega include Nada Ga\u010de\u0161i\u0107 Livakovi\u0107, Ines Bojani\u0107, and Ivan Gr\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n
Milka Trnina, one of the most famous world opera singers, was not born in Po\u017eega but was still very strongly tied with our town thru her family. She performed in world-renowned opera houses all across Europe as well as in the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. One of her most unusual performances was that at the coronation of the Russian emperor Nikola II when she sang a piece from Wagner\u2019s opera \u201cTristan and Isolde\u201d. The royal couple was so much impressed that they gave her a reward, a diamond brooch and a bracelet which are today kept safe in the Museum for arts and crafts in Croatia\u2019s capital Zagreb. But perhaps the most intriguing story about Milka Trnina is the one that links her name with the famous milk chocolate. The legend says that the Swiss industrial Carl Russ-Suchard, one of Trnina\u2019s biggest fans, especially for her performances of Richard Wagner, was secretly in love with her and wanted the whole World to know it by naming one of his chocolates after her – Milka.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Since 1987 located in the monumental art nouveau building of the former \u201cFirst bank of Po\u017eega\u201d, the library was first founded in 1845 under the Latin name \u201cLectoria Societas\u201d, meaning \u201cthe Reader\u2019s society\u201d. Ever since then it has been a very important part of cultural life in the city. Many events such as book readings, meetings with the writers as well as exhibitions and concerts are held in the city library.

One of the ornaments of the building that stand out is the statue of the Virgin Mary located in the corner niche. The museum moved into the building formerly owned by the Thaller family in 1953, but the museum institution itself was established in 1924, thanks to Julije Kempf, former city mayor. By type, this museum is considered to be a complex homeland museum and is comprised of four departments: archaeology, history, art-history gallery, and ethnology. The museum holds regular exhibitions as well as other forms of cultural events such as concerts, smaller theatre plays, exhibitions of paintings and photographs. Apart from those in the main building, there is a small exhibition dedicated to an old-fashioned barbershop with the original inventory, located on the other side of the main square, across from St. Lawrence\u2019s church, and it serves as a reminder of the city\u2019s famous history of craftsmen.<\/p>\n \u00a0One of the most popular projects of the Po\u017eega city museum is the \u201cdelicious\u201d \u201cMuzej u loncu\u201d (\u201cMuseum in the pot\u201d). It is a collection of recipes for traditional dishes from Po\u017eega and its countryside as well as from other parts of eastern Croatia. Along with the stories about the food itself, this project tells stories inspired by the rich history of this part of Europe. The dishes from the \u201cMuseum in the pot\u201d also tell the story of the many people and minorities that had shaped the history of Slavonia, Baranya and Srijem and therefore show the influence on local gastronomy that came from the Ottoman Empire (Turkey), Austria, Germany, Hungary and other parts of Croatia. This travelling exhibition has so far attracted hundreds of visitors and some of the dishes described can also be found in the local restaurants.

In 2014 the city music school moved into the new building equipped with the latest modern instruments and a concert hall with year-round programs. Thanks to that, the students now have the conditions to achieve the best results in the music competitions and to develop as young professionals. One of the results of the professional work with the students was the formation of the \u201cBig Band Po\u017eega\u201d in 2011. It might be one of the youngest such bands in Croatia but it is also one of the best according to the many prizes won in music competitions.<\/p>\n Some of the well known musical artists born or raised in Po\u017eega include: Vilma No\u017eini\u0107, the Zagreb opera house prima donna; Boris \u0106iro Ga\u0161parac, the musician known for his traditional \u201ctamburica\u201d music hits; and among today\u2019s modern singers: Vesna Pisarovi\u0107, dance, pop and jazz music singer and Dino Jelusi\u0107, rock musician and the winner of the first Children\u2019s Eurovision song contest in 2003.<\/p>\n It is interesting to know that one of the best traditional music festivals in Croatia, \u201cZlatne \u017eice Slavonije\u201d (The Golden strings of Slavonia), was established in Po\u017eega in 1969. It takes place every year in September and is a part of the larger \u201cAurea Fest\u201d traditional festival. On that occasion, hundreds of tourists visit Po\u017eega and the city center becomes the most festive place in Slavonia.
