There was a performance tonight by the jazz quartet led by jazz clarinetist Anet Cohen. Cohen is an Israeli who has lived in NYC since 1999. The NYT just had a piece on her earlier this month. (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/05/arts/music/anat-cohen-and-her-jazz-clarinet.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0).
She was backed up by a marvelous pianist from NYC, an incredible drummer from NYC, and a bass player from Bologna, Italy. To be honest, this is not my favorite genre of music -- no Manilow at all. But it was totally fun and the music was fab.
The Croatian National Theater is a great venue too. If you're ever in Split, see what's going on there. It's a 600-seat venue, and it's awesome to see world-class musicians (or dancers or actors) in such an intimate venue.
Top it off with a vino-and-formaggio apertivo and a post-theater octopus-salad-and-vino, and you have a cool night out on the town.
One last thing on Anet Cohen. The picture of her in the NYT profile is good. But this one is actually just a tad better:
