An Evening of Italian Opera at Geozavod

Mina Ristić performed at a concert of Italian operatic music at the Geozavod building, alongside sopranos Jasmina Trumbetaš Petrović and Marija Jelić, tenor Saša Božidarević and pianist Zarifa Ali-zade, with whom she also played works for piano duo by Valery Gavrilin.

In mid-October 2020, pianist Mina Ristić performed at a concert of Italian operatic music at the Geozavod building in Belgrade. The other performers were sopranos Jasmina Trumbetaš Petrović and Marija Jelić, tenor Saša Božidarević and pianist Zarifa Ali-zade.

The programme was devoted to arias from Italian operas. Mina Ristić appeared as piano collaborator, and with Zarifa Ali-zade she also performed pieces for piano duo by the Russian composer Valery Gavrilin, which brought an instrumental interlude to an evening devoted to the voice.

Audiences already knew the piano duo of Mina Ristić and Zarifa Ali-zade from their concert at the Great Hall of the Kolarac Endowment, while with Jasmina Trumbetaš Petrović, Mina Ristić would go on to build one of the longest partnerships of her career in the years that followed.
