Srećko (Felix) Albini (10 December 1869 – 18 April 1933) was a Croatian composer, conductor, and music publisher.

He then became a conductor at the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb, where he remained for the next eight years[1] and composed his first stage work, the three-act opera Maričon.

Set to a libretto by Milan Smrekar, it had a nationalistic theme and incorporated traditional Croatian folk music and dances.

Maričon premiered at the Croatian National Theatre in 1901 and received a very favourable review from Die Musik.

[1][2][3] The National Theatre's resident opera company suspended its activities between 1903 and 1909, and Albini moved to Vienna, where he continued composing and conducting.
