"In December 2020, an opera singer of the Croatian National Theatre, Ante Topić, died from the effects of coronavirus. Although it is impossible to establish for certain whether the singer became infected whilst at work in the theatre, his death brought to public attention the dissatisfaction of the employees of Croatia's largest theatre house with safety measures at work during the pandemic and their relations with the management. These tensions reflect a wider dissatisfaction with the problems of precarious work and unsafe working conditions faced by many Croatian cultural workers."
