Dejan Despic:
MERRY FRIARS OF BANAT(WORLD PREMIERE)
By the Serbian National Theatre (Novi Sad, Serbia)
Director:Ivana Dragutinović Maričić
Conductor:Željka Milanović
With: The orchestra, choir and ballet of the Serbian National Theatre
Performed by the Serbian National Theatre, this opera bouffe is reminiscent of the golden age of Serbian comedy. The story about the petty bickering among the household members of the two village priests (Friar Cira and Friar Spira) covers everything from love, strife and gossip, and features unexpected turns, folk tale elements and a happy conclusion.
Populated by thrilling characters, the cosy and self-contained microcosm of the play sets the stage for ridiculing stereotypical thinking, commonplaces and prejudice.
The role of FatherĆira is preformed by Romanian-born French tenorAntonel Boldan, the finalist of Armel Opera Competition 2017.
