Madlenianum Opera and Theatre is the first privately owned opera and theater company both in Serbia and in south-eastern Europe.^[1] It is located in Belgrade, Serbia, and was founded on 26 January 1999, by Madlena Zepter, wife of the Philip Zepter, Serbian businessman. The name Madlenianum derives from Madlena Zepter's name.
