The song that Dua Lipa performed with her father on the first night of Sunny Hill Festival is echoing. The comeback of the hit "Era" by the group Gjurmët, this August morning, has become the refrain of the day. Videos that go viral, a square full of people singing in unison with the international artist, are echoing everywhere in the world.
Albanian-born singer Dua Lipa was announced this month as the first female artist in Spotify history to have two albums surpass 14 billion total streams. With Albanian words, Albanian songs, a festival in her beloved Pristina, Sunny Hill Festival, and Pristina itself, this August has transformed into the capital of music, writes A2 CNN.
The capital of music not only because of the Sunny Hill Festival, but also because the central square of Pristina welcomes another magical voice on the evening of August 2, many classical voices along with it. The fifth edition of the Rame Lahaj International Opera Festival closes with a gala night where operatic music meets the collective emotion of an audience eager for art. Alongside the tenor Rame Lahaj, the Italian artist Dario Russo will take the stage, while the Kosovo Opera Orchestra will be led by conductor Roberto Rizzi Brignoli.
Therefore, Pristina in the first days of August promises you a lot — from classics to moderns.
