Slovenia: Alenka Gotar in Beauty and the Beast

by Stella Floras 91 views

Alenka Gotar, who represented Slovenia in the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest, is currently involved in an ambitious joint project together with popular Slovene impressionist Jure Godler. The project is a musical adaptation of the classic tale of the Beauty and the Beast and it is already a success with Slovene audiences.

Alenka Gotar and Jure Godler share a common sense of humour as well as a great love for music and Mozart. They first performed together the theme song of Beauty and the Beast during the Miss Slovenia 2007 pageant and afterwards decided to join forces to produce a version of the classic fairy tale for all audiences.

The show features a mixture of Jure's legendary imitations ((Milka, George Bush, Blair, Elvis, Dubravka Tomšič, Mr. Bean, Figaro, etc) and music, with Alenka singing arias as well as performing parts of the play. So far, Alenka and Jure's Beauty and the Beast of music and laughter has been warmly received by audiences receiving standing ovations. During the 90 minute show, Alenka Gotar and Jure Godler give their best with the audience rolling down the aisles in laughter. The leading actors admit that they often find themselves on the verge of laughter as well.

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain.

I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
