Belgrade recommendations

Belgrade recommendations for this week.

Friday
Enrique Iglesias
ollowing in the footsteps of his father, Enrique, has built a prolific career on pouting his lips and crooning love songs to adoring female fans. It’s now Belgrade’s lovely ladies’ turn to swoon over the suave Enrique and enjoy the melodious sounds of the talented back-up singers, that he sings softly over, as he focuses on perfecting his bedroom-eyes look. Belgrade Arena, Arsenija Carnojevica 58


Saturday
Joe Bonamassa
Bonamassa has established himself as one of the premier young blues guitarists in the world. Perform¬ing with legend B.B. King at the tender age of 12, the guitarist has developed a unique sound over the years, influenced more by British and Irish blues interpreta¬tions, than the American masters of the Mississippi delta. Student Cultural Centre, SKC, Kralja Milana 48


Sunday
Macy Gray
A huge week, for large-scale concert events in Bel¬grade, as American R&B star Macy Gracy makes her way to the Belgrade Arena this weekend as well. Her trademark raspy voice, takes cues from Billy Holiday and Betty Davis to craft a contemporary style of soul music fused with pop sensibilities, and has made her an international singing sensation. Belgrade Arena, Arsenija Carnojevica 58


Monday
Les Miserables
Serbia’s Madlenianum has recently joined the large group of theatres with a production of Les Miserables, arguably the most popular musical of all time, bigger even than Andrew Lloyd Webber’s, Cats. Come see what the Belgrade production of this classic love tale brings to the table. Madlenianum, Glavna 32


Tuesday
AC/DC
With the so-called “concert event of the year,” Depeche Mode, cancelled last week, the true owner of that title will be going on stage at the enormous Partizan Stadium on Tuesday. Legendary Australian rockers AC/DC will play to a packed stadium that has been sold out for months. Let there be rock! Partizan Stadium, Humska 1


Wednesday
Exhibition: Dark Horse Comics
Hard Boiled, was a comic book mini-series written by Frank Miller and drawn by Geof Darrow and published by Dark Horse Comics in 1990. Miller’s work has recently adapted some of his work, such as the Dark Knight episode of Batman and the revolutionary blockbuster, Sin City.
