Outstanding Chinese sopranos in the opera “Così fan tutte” in Madlenianum on July 18 and 19 together with young Serbian artists, under the patronage of Princess Jelisaveta Karađorđević
The Global Intercultural Performing Arts Cast (GIPAC) from Beijing, in cooperation with the Opera and the Madlenianum Theater, will proudly present Mozart’s beloved opera “Così fan tutte” (“That’s the way they all act”) on July 18 and 19, 2024. from 8 p.m. in the new dramaturgy of Aleksandar Nikolić, who also signs the direction, and the Ensemble of the National Symphony Orchestra of Serbia will be conducted by maestro Milica Jelić, while pianist Nevena Živković will prepare. Entry is free!
A special curiosity is the fact that this Opera will be performed by an ensemble consisting of a group of young Serbian and Chinese opera artists, performing under the patronage of Princess Jelisaveta Karađorđević.
This unique Opera, which brings together talented Chinese sopranos and Serbian young artists, is produced by Madam Vanže Zhang.
Since the winners of the Princess Jelisaveta Karađorđević Merit Award are among the participants, she expressed her sincere joy at the upcoming concert:
“This wonderful collaboration is a unique testimony to the universal language of music and the bridges it builds between nations and cultures. I will be delighted to follow the development of young artists and provide sincere support for their presentation on stages around the world, and I am especially happy that they will have their first performance in front of the Belgrade audience,” said Princess Jelisaveta Krađorđević.
All Chinese sopranos graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, the leading music academy in China, and are students of associate professor Zhang Zhang, who debuted in Serbia as Cerlina in “Don Giovanni” in Kombank Hall in 2018.
In Madlenianum, there will be two performances: Xinyu Cui and Lingzi Huang as Fjordilides, Luyi Xin and Xingyao Cheng as Dorabela and Xuan Zhang and Jing Zhou/Danling Jin as Despina.
During both evenings, great young Serbian artists Stevan Karanac as Ferrando, Luka Jozić as Guljelmo and Kiš Tamaš as Don Alfonso perform.
Founded in 2017 in Boston, GIPAC has grown into a professional troupe and arts agency, organizing over 30 events in nine countries. The group focuses on providing opportunities to young talents through competitions, master classes, professional training and various performances.
