CULTURE CALENDAR

Mario Biondi

8-9 June, Bitefart Café

Mario Biondi, an Italian soul-jazz star who was also called Italian Barry White, will hold a Belgrade concert on 8 and 9 June. He will perform at the Summer Stage of the Bitefart Café. This singer and songwriter with a gorgeous and unique voice is coming to Belgrade to present his new album

“Romantic”, which premiered in March. Mario Biondi wrote “Romantic” in collaboration with band members Massimo Greco and David Florio. “A handful of musicians, beautiful female voices, songs full of groove, reminiscences of the sound of the seventies that inspires us to reach the excellence of soul music,” Mario said of the new album.

Les Misérables

23 June – Madlenianum

The musical, already seen by generations of our audience, directed by Nebojsa Bradic, under the conducting baton of Vesna Souc, still intrigues. The first premiere was on 18 October 2007, with Zafir Hadzimanov as Jean Valjean. At the request of the audience and the cultural public, this cult play, which has become a symbol of the Madlenianum, was revived in 2014,

with the same team of authors, but with major casting changes. One of the greatest novels of French and world literature, Les Misérables of Victor Hugo, continues to be of interest to film, television and drama creators, and since the moment it was written in 1862, it has been among the bestseller in the whole world.
