Croatia: Dora 2024 not to take place in Opatija?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Dora will be used as the national selection format for Croatia in 2024. The contest will be renewed with the introduction of a semi-final and it appears that this is not the only change coming in 2024.

According to novilist.hr, Opatija will not serve as the host city for Dora 2024. The well-known seaside resort town of Opatija has been hosting Dora since its return in 2019, while it was confirmed that Dora’s contract with Opatija was about to be renewed. Nevertheless, the afore-mentioned scenario will possibly be abandoned, as the municipality itself mentions that:

Regarding the Dora event, we can confirm that we have been informed orally by Croatian Radio Television that HRT is not able to organize Dora 2024 in Opatija and that HRT, as the project holder, will submit a written statement about this to the City of Opatija, and soon issue an official press release and announce this year’s event.

According to rumors, Dora is set to return to the capital of Zagreb, for the first time since 2011. The festival itself is linked to the city of Opatija since its inaugural edition, while only in a few occasions it was held in Zagreb.

Dora 2024

Just a couple weeks ago, HRT revealed the twenty-four acts that will compete for the Croatian representation in Malmö. The line-up of Dora 2024 is the following:

  10. MORE – Lana Mandarić
  11. NEBO PLAČE – James Night
  12. I DON’T CRY FOR HER – Saša Lozar
  13. INVINCIBLE – Barbara Munjas
  14. I DON’T BELIEVE YOU – Lara Demarin
  15. SINCE I DREAM OF YOU – The Splitters

  22. SILENCE – Eugen
  23. DRINK WATER TO BE SOBER – Mario Battifiaca feat. Robert Ferlin
  24. VOLJENA ŽENO – Damir Kedžo

Dora will remain as the selection process for the Croatian entry in Eurovision 2024. Following the reveal of the Dora 2024 line-up, the speculation regarding the inclusion of Semi-Finals in the competition was now confirmed by HRT.

Dora 2024 marks the first edition since 2011 to include a Semi-Final and Tomislav Štengl, the Croatian Head of Delegation, seems excited about this add-on. Specifically, he mentions that:

The work on Dora paid off, which means that the interest of authors and performers is increasing. We have a record number of applications, as well as quality songs. This is one of the reasons why we have a semi-final this year. there will be even more evenings, gossip, tension, and therefore Dora is growing.

The success of Let3 in Liverpool looks like it’s being translated to interest from the local artists, who now dare to make a step towards the Eurovision stage. Indicatively, a record number of 203 entries were submitted to HRT in order to compete in Dora 2024.
