For the seventh year in a row, one of the most important projects of the Cultural Element is the organization of the International Competition of Solo Singers “Lazar Jovanović”. The competition is held once a year in Belgrade. It is one of the most important and largest opera competitions in Serbia and this part of Europe. It features solo singers of all ages who may or may not be educated within the official music education system, and welcomes over a hundred participants from a dozen countries each year. The competition is of an international character and is named after the famous Yugoslav opera singer Lazar Jovanovic. The competition was founded in 2003 as part of the work of the Music Society “Stankovic”. From its founding until 2015, it was held in the premises of the Stanković Music School. Then, due to the exceptional increase in importance and significance, it has been held under the auspices of the Cultural Element since 2016, which is moving the competition from the halls of the music school to the Ilija M. Kolarca. This year’s competition will be held from 10-12. June. You can find more information on the competition website:
