The opening night featured acclaimed performers including Egyptian mezzo-soprano Gala El Hadidi, Edona Reshitaj, Adhurim Grezda, and artists from the Arbëresh community, accompanied by the Gent Rushi Group. The performance captivated the audience, blending classical artistry with cultural tribute.

Held under the motto “Dreams Without Borders, Opera Without Walls”, this year’s edition promotes unity through art, offering a unique cultural experience for the citizens of Pristina.

“The capital is proud to support this special event that highlights our culture, talent, and musical heritage on the international stage,” said Pristina Mayor Përparim Rama in a social media post.

The festival will feature numerous internationally acclaimed artists and will culminate on August 2 with a performance by the RTSH Symphony Orchestra in Tirana’s main Skanderbeg Square – its first-ever collaboration with the “Ramë Lahaj & Friends” festival.
