S lovenian pop scene icon Helena Blagne will give a concert at the Stozice Arena on Tuesday evening as the first Slovenian artist to perform at this biggest indoor venue in Ljubljana. She will be joined on the stage by the renowned Vienna Boys’ Choir along with three Slovenian tenors and an 80-strong symphonic orchestra.

Blagne, who is known for her distinguished voice, has often been dubbed a diva of Slovenian pop music. Since she began her professional career in 1986, she has released 20 albums which have sold more than two million copies and brought her international fame.

Having studied opera singing for several years, Blagne has worked with the world’s best opera singers, including Placido Domingo and the group Il Divo. She recorded her last album for the English record label EMI.

Tonight the visitors will have an opportunity to listen to Blagne together with the velvety voices of the Vienna Boys’ Choir, which otherwise “performs only at the biggest and the most prestigious venues with world famous singers”, the organisers said in a press release.

The Vienna Boys’ Choir was established by the first Vienna bishop, Slovenian Jurij Slatkonja (1456-1522). The boys, aged from 11 to 14, perform worldwide as Austrian ambassadors. The last time they were in Slovenia was in December when they sang Christmas songs.
