Jadranka Jovanovic performed in Arab Emirates First Carmen in Middle East Author: T. Njezic | 20.11.2007 - 06:00
Jadranka Jovanovic , our well-known prima donna, performed the main role at the premiere of the famous Gerorges Bizet’s opera “Carmen” in Abu Dhabi (the United Arab Emirates) on the 8th of November. The performance took place in the famous “Auditorium“ that can seat 1,400 people and represents the part of the luxurious hotel “Emirate Palace“.
The guest performance was organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates and it draw attention of the media there. Jadranka Jovanovic said for “Blic”: “It was an interesting and unusual experience. That is the first “Carmen” in Emirates, as far as I know. The most important things I have achieved in my career were through this role of Carmen. I sang it on the most prestigious world stages (Tokio, Rio da Janeiro, Sao Paolo, Milan, Athens, Rome...) with the great opera singers like Placido Domingo, Jose Careras and now I will become part of history as the first Carmen in the Middle East. I don’t think it is a coincidence that Middle East chose this opera. I have been asked about the character of the heroine, her freedom and fight for emotions and identity... These are very interesting issues for Arabian women today. I have also set my personal record singing it four evenings in a row.”
