The concert was great and the crowd outside was just as enthusiastic as those inside the Basilica! Mostly those sitting outside were drunk just as the musicians inside who had done shots of Jack Daniels before going on stage.
The music was a mix of traditional Yugoslavian and hints at Bela Bartok, John Cage, and Pierre Boulez. The young comedian of 19, don't know her name, performed text based off the film "La Reine Margot" the music from the film was wrote by Bregovic. He then was influenced by his own music to write the text. She was really good and had all of her text memorized which was a plus and minus because Goran wasn't conducting her, but he got angry when she wasn't performing it exactly as "written".
The music at moments seemed film-like, similar to other pieces he had written and particulary the one he ha wrote for the film. One of the other interns said it was funny that the lyrics were about profane things and that the concert was taking place in the basilica royal. Standing outside looking in made me feel like at a rock concert with screaming fans and all!
