Кнез од Зете Петра Коњовића. Поводом 125. годишњице композиторовог рођења
Prince of Zeta by Petar Konjović. On the 125th Anniversary of the Composer’s Birth

Summary/Abstract: The musical drama Knez od Zeta had several settings, each time with an indication of the premiere. It was performed in Belgrade in 1929, 1946, 1968 and 1989, and in Novi Sad in 1966. Its first appearance on the stage of the Belgrade National Theater meant, after Hristić's Suton, a new and very important page in the history of Serbian and then Yugoslav music. Created on the basis of melodies and texts of folk Montenegrin and coastal songs, Knez od Zeta is not a folklore opera, but a striking example of the modern understanding of the application of folk songs and epic poetry in artistic music
