Dr. sc. Gordan Grlić Radman

Ambassador Dr. Gordan Grlić Radman was accredited as the ambassador of Croatia to Germany in 2017. Ever since he has been undertaking outstanding efforts in strengthening the German-Croatian relations. In his function as the ambassador he especially places emphasis on the role of Croatia within the European Union; Croatia became a member of the EU in July 2013. Croatia is a prime example and proves how a relatively new EU member state can contribute to a community in a very positive way by sharing and strongly promoting the fundamental values of the EU.

The world's most famous opera houses at the Summer Celebration

The world’s most famous theaters photographed from the stage – we will be able to adore Klaus Frahm’s photos at the summer celebration since a unique selection of his best works will be displayed at the Schlosshotel Kronberg.

Shot from the stage looking toward the audience, the photos show the contrast of ornate auditoriums and the technological scaffolding that enable the theatrical production. Klaus Frahm perfectly captures the rarely seen side of theaters. In particular, he is well-known for his image series "The Fourth Wall"
