Alen Vitasović: Jenu noć at the Little Roman Theatre

Today, 06.07.2026. 21:00. h

Alen Vitasović performs Jenu noć at the Little Roman Theatre in Pula, a concert programme marking 35 years of his career.

The Pula concert carries the title Jenu noć - 35 years of career. The programme turns to the songs that made Vitasović one of the most recognisable Istrian voices in popular music.

Istrian language in popular song

Alen Vitasović is not only a singer with a catalogue of familiar songs; he is one of the performers who brought the Chakavian and Istrian idiom into broad popular music. Gušti su gušti, Jenu noć, Sandra and other songs from his repertoire carry local speech without turning it into folklore display. Listeners remember them as pop songs, but they keep the rhythm of Istrian everyday life, phrasing and humour. That is why the Pula concert is more than a retrospective. Jenu noć - 35 years of career can be read as a look through the work of a performer who made Istrian identity direct, singable and understandable beyond Istria.

Jenu noć in an open theatre

The Little Roman Theatre gives the concert a direct, open-air setting. The audience is closer to the performer than in a large arena, and songs built on dialect, wit and melancholy can work without the distance of a large production. For Vitasović, this is a fitting space: his repertoire is not just a list of hits, but a voice of Istria, from everyday humour to the ballad mood of Jenu noć.
