Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Bay of Kotor, Lighthouse Restaurant welcomed the opening night of this year’s Lighthouse Summer Stage with an unforgettable performance by Matija Cvek, transforming a summer evening into an experience that extended far beyond a concert.
From the very first notes, it was clear that the audience was witnessing something special. Every lyric was met with enthusiasm, every melody echoed back by the crowd, creating an atmosphere of genuine connection that only grew stronger as the evening unfolded. Together with his band, Matija Cvek delivered the signature blend of exceptional musicianship, heartfelt emotion and effortless stage presence that has made him one of the region’s most celebrated performers.
The setlist featured many of his best-loved songs, including Trebaš li me, Pola sunca and Pristajem, with guests singing along almost word for word. Adding another memorable dimension to the evening, Cvek also performed carefully selected regional and international classics, showcasing the versatility and musical depth that define his artistic identity.
As the night progressed, the energy between the performers and the audience became increasingly electric. What began as a scheduled concert naturally evolved into an intimate musical gathering that no one was ready to end. Inspired by the overwhelming response from the crowd, Matija Cvek and his band continued performing well beyond the planned finale, extending the evening into a celebration of music, emotion and shared moments.
The seamless combination of outstanding live music, thoughtfully curated gastronomy and the spectacular setting of the Bay of Kotor once again confirmed Lighthouse Summer Stage as one of the Adriatic’s most distinctive summer event series, where remarkable artists and unforgettable destinations come together to create lasting memories.
The organisers extend their sincere gratitude to the event partners and supporters: MTEL, Hipotekarna Banka, GRAWE Non-Life Insurance, Turkish Airlines and BMW Voli Motors, whose continued support helps bring these exceptional summer experiences to life.
Summer in Kotor has its own soundtrack. And its own stage.
