Opera » Opera| 41 Jadranka Jovanović, prvakinja operskog ansambla beogradskog Narodnog pozorišta, već 40 godina osvaja domaću i inostranu publiku, koja za njene nastupe uvek traži kartu više. Debi u Beogradskoj operi imala je u Seviljskomberberinu 1981. godine, a prvi internacionalni angažman samo tri godine kasnije u čuvenoj milanskoj Skali. Za sve te godine, po dobroj navici i tradiciji od početka karijere, najudobnije se oseća sa avio-kartom za neku od destinacija Er Srbije, ali možda najviše na putu za Njujork… Bili ste među prvima koji su kupili kartu do Njujorka kada je Er Srbija uvela direktne letove. Zašto? Postoji li neka posebna ljubav prema tom gradu? – Njujork je svetska metropola za koju me vezuju posebne umetničke emocije. Pre svegamoj solistički koncert u Karnegi Holu, ali u Njujorku sam i prvi put u životu doživela ozbiljnu prirodnu nepogodu – uragan Sendi. Međutim, kada je posle 24 godine pauze uspostavljen prvi direktan let za Njujork, bila sam toliko radosna, da sammorala da prisustvujemsvečanomdolasku naše Er Srbije na aerodromJ.F.K., koji je bio veličanstven. Dakle, možda je presudna ljubav prema nacionalnoj avio-kompaniji? – Moja ljubav prema našoj avio-kompaniji je neizmerna i nikada se ne dovodi u pitanje. Živela sam u Americi u trenutku kada je poslednji avion, tada JAT-a, odleteo iz Njujorka i to sam veoma teško podnela. Svih tih dugih godina mnogo puta sam letela za Ameriku sa presedanjima. Ponosna sam što je Srbija danas jedina zemlja u regionu koja ima direktan let za Njujork. Da se vratimo muzici. Šta biste posle veoma uspešnog projekta rekli – ko se boji opere još? –Moj autorski projekat Ko se The Prima Donna of the Opera Ensemble of the BelgradeNationalTheatre, Jadranka Jovanović, has spent a full 40 years winning over domestic and foreign audiences, who always seek extra tickets for her performances. It was back in 1981 that she made her BelgradeOperadebut, performing in the Barber of Seville, and just three years later she hadher first international engagement, atMilan’s famous La Scala. And throughout all these years, in accordance with a good habit and tradition dating back to the beginning of her career, she feels most comfortable with an airline ticket to some Air Serbia destination, wherever it flies, but perhaps most of all on the route to New York… You were among the first to purchase a ticket to New York when Air Serbia introduced direct flights. Why? Do you have some Tekst/Words: Ana Vodinelić Fotografije/Photography: Narodno pozorište u Beogradu, Željko Jovanović special love for that city? “New York is a worldmetropolis towhich I’mbound by special artistic emotions. First and foremost, my solo concert at Carnegie Hall, but it was also in New York that I experienced my first ever serious natural disaster: Hurricane Sandy. However, when thefirst direct flight to New York was announced after a 24-year break, I was so delighted that I had to attend the ceremonial arrival of our Air Serbia at JFK Airport, which was magnificent.” So, perhaps it was your love for the national airline that proved decisive? “My love for our airline is immeasurable and never brought into question. I was living in America at the moment when the last flight, then JAT’s, departed from New
