Permanent Display 46. The Study of Ivan pl. Zajc The great Croatian composer Ivan pl. Zajc (the pl. in the name is an indication of aristocratic birth) was born in Rijeka in 1832. He studied at the Conservatory in Milan, lived and worked for several years in Vienna. He associated with numerous students from Zagreb, including August Šenoa. Urged by patriotic feelings, he abandoned a respected and profitable job in Vienna and in 1870 arrived in Zagreb, where he at once became director of the opera company and took over the management of the school of the Croatian Musical Institute. Not only did he really establish the opera as an institution in Zagreb, but he enriched the art of opera by putting on numbers of works of his own and of foreign and domestic composers. His best known work is the opera Nikola Šubić Zrinski, which became a focal point for patriotic enthusiasm. Coming to Zagreb, he settled down in the Upper Town, in quiet Visoka Street, which looked out over the green of Tuškanac. The study of Maestro Zajc found a home in the Museum of the City of Zagreb, where it has been carefully looked after for more than seven decades. He created his work in this study until the end of his life. As well as being active in organization and in teaching, he created a considerable oeuvre in Zagreb, one containing more than a thousand works. The city councillors, aware of how much he had done for the city, gave him a certificate of honorary citizenship. Attaining a ripe old age, he died in his home in Visoka Street on December 16, 1914. Šenoa and Zajc, two friends in their youth, could hardly have imagined that one day they would share the same room in the Zagreb City Museum. Nada Premerl

Stalni postav 46. Radna soba Ivana pl. Zajca Veliki hrvatski skladatelj Ivan pl. Zajc rodio se u Rijeci 1832. godine. Studirao na Konzervatoriju u Milanu, živio i radio nekoliko godina u Beču. Družio se s brojnim studentima iz Zagreba, među inima i s Augustom Šenoom. Ponukan domoljubljem, napustio je ugledan i unosan posao u Beču i došao 1870. godine u Zagreb, gdje je odmah postao ravnatelj Opere i preuzeo vodstvo na školi Hrvatskoga glazbenog zavoda. Ne samo da je utemeljio operu u Zagrebu već je obogaćivao opernu umjetnost nizom novih vlastitih djela i djela stranih i domaćih skladatelja. Najpoznatije njegovo djelo, opera Nikola Šubić Zrinjski, postala je simbolom rodoljubnog zanosa. Došavši u Zagreb nastanio se na Gornjemu gradu u tihoj Visokoj ulici s pogledom na zelenilo Tuškanca. Radna soba maestra Zajca udomljena je i brižno čuvana već više od sedam desetljeća u Muzeju grada Zagreba. Stvarao je u svojoj radnoj sobi do kraja života. Uz veliku pedagošku i organizatorsku aktivnost on je u Zagrebu stvorio opsežan opus, više od tisuću djela. Zastupstvo grada Zagreba uvidjevši Maestrove zasluge za ovaj grad dodijelilo mu je diplomu začasnoga građanina. Doživjevši duboku starost, umro je u svome domu u Visokoj ulici 16. prosinca 1914. godine. Šenoa i Zajc, dva prijatelja iz mladosti, nisu ni slutili da će jednoga dana dijeliti istu sobu u Muzeju grada Zagreba. Nada Premerl Vezana izdanja Kassowitz-Cvijić, Antonija.
