Live Musical "THE 3"

Live Musical "THE 3"

SigmArt & International Opera Foundation are delighted to present the Live Musical "THE 3" with Musician Lena Kovačević, Actress Jelena Gavrilović & Soprano Marija Jelić from one of the most prestigious dance and music venues in Belgrade (MTS Dvorana Hall), on the 30th of May 2026 at 19.00 BST (20.00 CET) exclusive On-Demand Near Live on SigmArt.

“THE 3” is an immersive music-theatre project that, for the first time, unites on one stage the voices of a pop/jazz singer, an actress, and an opera diva, merging three artistic energies into a new musical dimension. Accompanied by a symphony orchestra, band, and specially created AI video projections, the project connects the most beautiful world arias with film classics, pop-rock hits, and Broadway evergreens, creating a powerful audio-visual spectacle, a “live cinematic frame.”

“THE 3” is not just a concert, but a meeting of eras, styles, and contemporary female identities, which through music and visual storytelling explores the themes of inner authority and personal strength in a time of global transition. The project carries a message about the value that does not depend on external validation and an identity that is not measured by applause. At the same time, it has a clear social mission: each concert will introduce a young musical talent, while part of the proceeds will be directed to charitable causes.

The tour premiere is scheduled for May 30 at MTS Hall in Belgrade, marking the beginning of the regional and international development of this unique artistic brand.
