So the arts in this part of the world are highly supported by the government. The guidebook for Split says that during the winter season, it is worth it to see a performance, just to see the hall they are performed in.
So I found the hall yesterday. And looking at the performance for the evening, I found "balet" to be the only word I could really make out. Tonight's performance was marked "koncert" followed by some names I recognized, like Bach. So I went in to purchase a ticket for both, and succeeded without too much difficulty.
It turns out that Labude Jezero is Swan Lake. (I did double check via a translation site.) I thought nothing of it when in the first scene, someone walked on stage with a swan. I had actually assumed it was a goose. It was only a couple of acts later when a couple of swans floated on the "lake" that I began to suspect what I watching. I didn't get a program, as it was in Croation only.
I really enjoyed the ballet. There is far more clapping than I am used to providing, but none the less, it was a good time.
