Zorica Brunclik is back on stage. The folk legend performed on the evening of May 31 in the Romanian town of Giroda, near Timisoara, her first appearance before an audience after a lengthy break due to health problems. After months away from the scene, her name was on the poster once again.
The pause was not by chance. Zorica had earlier undergone two procedures for diverticulosis of the colon, so her recovery set the pace. Whether she would hold up for the full program was the question that hung over the rehearsal. She walked out with her husband, Miroljub Arandjelovic Kemis, while Borko Radivojevic’s orchestra warmed up the crowd.
Why did Kemis run the rehearsal alone?
One detail many noticed: only Kemis showed up for the general rehearsal, while Zorica did not appear. The reason was not nerves but calculation. The goal was to preserve her voice and strength for the show itself, so her husband took over the technical side.
Kemis took over the entire organization and technical checks himself to relieve his wife and protect her voice and her strength.
That is how messages from the couple’s circle described how the roles were split that evening. Everything that could be handled without her was done in advance.
- first public show after a long health-related break
- two earlier procedures for diverticulosis of the colon
- general rehearsal without Zorica, to spare her voice
- return to filming Pinkove zvezde before the concert
What does the comeback mean for fans?
For her loyal audience, this show is more than one evening in Romania. It is a sign that Zorica Brunclik is returning to full rhythm, step by step. Before Giroda she had already gone back to filming Pinkove zvezde, proof that she was ready for the cameras and a demanding schedule.
The unease at the rehearsal, whether she would withstand the strain, was understandable after two surgeries. But stepping out with her closest people and a trusted orchestra shows she is returning carefully, but surely. It remains to be seen how often she will appear before audiences again.
And what about you, would you like to see her at a major concert in Serbia this summer?
