The first operatic concert in the renovated Kur-Salon in Banja Koviljača was held on 28 September 2019, by soprano Marija Jelić, a member of the Operatic Studio of the National Theatre in Belgrade, and pianist Mina Ristić.
In the King Aleksandar I Karadjordjević Hall, which was built in 1932, the young artists performed pieces by Russian and Serbian composers, as well as the world’s most beautiful opera arias. Mina Ristić also performed two pieces for solo piano: Ballade by Jovdat Hajiyev and Danzas Argentinas by Alberto Ginastera. The artists were honored with a frame canvas photo of their performance becoming a fixture in the King Aleksandar I Karadjordjević Hall, alongside photos of performances by the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra, the National Dance Foundation Ballet, and the Saint Sava Ball.
