Goran Bregović and the Weddings & Funerals Orchestra
Champagne for Gypsies
Serbia
“The audience went off like firecrackers.”
The Australian
Welcome to the party that is celebrated composer and Balkan rock star Goran Bregović and his 18-piece orchestra capturing the beautiful calamity of Gypsy weddings. A raucous blend of Gypsy brass band, traditional Bulgarian polyphonies and percussion, electric guitar and strings, this is a fiery Balkan hotpot of love, lust and the maddest of talent. Be prepared, you will get up and dance! In fact if you wish to watch the performance from your seat, we suggest buying in the dress or grand circles.
