REVIEWS:

"... Aleksandar Dojkovic's Ismaele has given an important contribution to this well sung opera, with the healthy, and involved singing of its tenor."

Prof. Slobodan Turlakov,

. . .

"... amongst the soloists, first of all, one should point out Jadranka Jovanovic as Abigaille, and Aleksandar Dojkovic in the role of Ismaele. With her voluminous voice, Jadranka Jovanovic has conquered the scene... Likewise could be said for Aleksandar Dojkovic, a lirico-spinto tenor, who, with the precious tonality and sonority of his voice, as well as the musical performance of his role, has given an outstanding impression. To this, we should add, his unobtrusive, but suggestive scenic manners, which gave to the realization of the role an additional quality."

Nedeljko Grba, Musical editor,

Review of The premiere of "Nabucco"– Radio Belgrade, "Stereorama", October 14 th 2007.

. . .

"... In two performances, two partitions can be observed, ... , the first partition of singers is of much greater quality, more resourceful on the scene, more theatrically prepared than the second... , Aleksandar Dojkovic (Gabriel von Eisenstein) playing wonderfully, ingenious and charming, has reached his vocal peak in the played role."
