Mr. Antonio Coslovich brings the form of chamber theater to Umag at the beginning of the 19th century. He built a hotel called „Al Leon d’oro – At the golden lion“ where a small theatre with about 100 seats was placed.

Today the Festival takes place in the city theater Antonio Coslovich which is located in the center of the city near the newly renewed square.
