XIII Operosa Montenegro Opera Festival 2026 donosi ekskluzivno izvođenje opere Balkanska carica u jedinstvenom ambijentu Mamula Island by Banyan Tree.

U godini kada Crna Gora obilježava dvadeset godina od obnove nezavisnosti, publika će imati priliku da doživi jedno od najznačajnijih djela crnogorske kulturne baštine u posebnoj kamernoj produkciji, izvedenoj u originalnoj orkestraciji za gudački sastav.

Nastala prema istoimenoj drami kralja Nikole I Petrovića Njegoša, uz muziku Dionizija de Sarna San Đorđa, Balkanska carica spaja ljubav, žrtvu, patriotizam i istorijsku sudbinu u snažnu opersku priču posvećenu ženama Crne Gore – njihovoj snazi, dostojanstvu i istrajnosti.

Pod dirigentskom palicom Mihajla Miletića i u režiji Nine Martinović, ovo premijerno festivalsko izvođenje okuplja istaknute umjetnike regiona i donosi novo čitanje prvog crnogorskog nacionalnog operskog djela. Scenografiju potpisuje Angela Božović, a kostimografiju Maša Mirković. U naslovnoj ulozi Danice nastupa sopran Milica Lalošević, uz Stevana Karanca kao Stanka Crnojevića, Tamaša Kiša kao Ivan-bega, Nevenu Goranovu Rajković kao Martu i Lazara Kinđića u ulogama Guslara i Starca proroka. Ulogu mlade seoske djevojke, kroz plesni izraz, tumači Tijana Dragović, uz pratnju Festivalskog orkestra Crne Gore.

The XIII Operosa Montenegro Opera Festival 2026 presents an exclusive performance of the opera The Balkan Empress (Balkanska carica) in the unique setting of Mamula Island by Banyan Tree.

In the year marking twenty years since Montenegro regained its independence, audiences will have the opportunity to experience one of the most significant works of Montenegrin cultural heritage in a special chamber production, performed in its original orchestration for string ensemble.

Based on the play of the same name by King Nikola I Petrović Njegoš, with music by Dionisio de Sarno San Giorgio, The Balkan Empress intertwines love, sacrifice, patriotism, and historical destiny in a powerful operatic story dedicated to the women of Montenegro—their strength, dignity, and perseverance.

Under the baton of Mihajlo Miletić and directed by Nina Martinović, this festival premiere brings together distinguished artists from across the region and offers a fresh interpretation of Montenegro’s first national opera. Set design is by Angela Božović, with costumes by Maša Mirković. The title role of Danica is performed by soprano Milica Lalošević, alongside Stevan Karanac as Stanko Crnojević, Tamaš Kiš as Ivan-beg, Nevena Goranova Rajković as Marta, and Lazar Kinđić in the roles of the Guslar and the Old Prophet. Through dance, Tijana Dragović portrays the role of the Young Village Girl, accompanied by the Montenegro Festival Orchestra.
