(...) Simple melodies with intriguing harmonic accompaniment were the perfect background on which Katarina Livljanić suddenly transformed from a modern 21st century woman who flawlessly interprets old sources (as a singer and musicologist in one) into an elegant cabaret singer from the early 20th century.

Erik Satie's rarely performed solo songs, were delivered in an intriguing and witty interpretation, in which the singer and pianist communicated incredibly well. Humor was everywhere, either in the text itself, or in the way the text was connected to the music, or in the way the repertoire was performed.

From the gravitas of medieval music, through the repertoire of the Parisian salons, the concert slowly wandered towards an unparalleled salon party, in which Katarina Livljanić showed not only singing but also acting talents. The great diction of the (old) French language with a lively and warm mezzo-soprano voice, carried by a sharp and intelligent interpretation, are obviously a feature of Katarina Livljanić as a singer...

As a musicologist, she proved (once again) that the concert is not composed just by musical scores, but a carefully designed dramaturgy of individual musical pieces, interconnected with deep understanding. This kind of integrity is what one should strive for.

With the programme La belle époque....médiévale, the Livljanić-Detoni duo enchants the audience, and will continue to do so at all future performances and guest appearances. It is an excellently conceived piece, almost a theatrical act.

Her mezzo-soprano voice is delightful, her pronunciation is clear, the music she performs, accompanied by the virtuoso Danijel Detoni, is a pure pleasure, a caress for the ears. It enchanted the listeners in the twilight of the concert hall, charmed them through the musical-poetic delicacies, and brought smiles to many faces in the audience. It was a voyage to Paris d'autrefois… Katarina Livljanić is a brilliant singer and actress who expertly knows how to create and evoke those dreamy beauties from the times past.

"Their impressive and refined interpretation immersed us completely in the magical spirit of the Parisian music scene of the early 20th century and they amazed the audience in the ducal palace."

A musical walk – from Christ to the Libertines / The chant of Katarina Livljanic enchanted the audience

Katarina Livljanic (...), like a contemporary George Sand, interpreted in a lively and refined way the melodies Claude Debussy and Erik Satie played at the Parisian cabaret the Chat Noir. We heard some songs from the Belle Epoque, imbued with an erotic and frivolous atmosphere, full of humor and charm intertwined by miniatures of Debussy and Satie, delightfully performed by Danijel Detoni. The audience was charmed by these lucid and teasing songs.

Ensemble Dialogos reenacted a truly unique evening in the courtyard of the Dubrovnik Ducal Palace. The public was invited on an intimate walk through the Parisian salons of the early 20th century, to meet poets, musicians, actors and eccentrics inspired by Middle Ages ... The program was composed of medieval and neo-medieval melodies, but also pieces where the declamation and fragments of the Gregorian melodies are not only used for the reconstruction of historical repertoires or a musical arabesque, but also for the immense pleasure that is found in these sacred, erotic, ironic texts ... where it is impossible to separate the song from the theatrical play, all with the virtuoso accompaniment of pianist Danijel Detoni.
