THE CHANCELLERY OF
H.R.H. CROWN PRINCE Alexander II
OF YUGOSLAVIA
“THE BALKAN ODYSSEY” AT THE SAVA CENTER
Belgrade, 17 November 2003 – HRH Crown Prince Alexander II and Crown
Princess Katherine attended the gala concert “The Balkan Odyssey” at the
Sava Center tonight, performed by the folklore troupe “Kolo”.
“The Balkan Odyssey” is performed by over sixty performers, and it
reflects in an artistic way the spirituality and culture of our people
throughout its history in the Balkans, the great crossroads of nations and
cultures. During the recent tour of “Kolo” in Australia, this piece was for
the first time performed on the stage of Sydney Opera.
“Kolo” is a troupe that has performed in all continents, presenting our
cultural heritage through dance and song. Last year this troupe spent eight
months on the tour abroad.
Beside Their Royal Highnesses this extraordinary event was attended by
the Ambassadors of over twenty countries, prominent cultural and public
figures, former troupe members and many “Kolo” admirers.
Their Royal Highnesses, together with other distinguished guests and the
audience, enjoyed very much in the dances and songs from our rich cultural
heritage.
