Young Disney fans in Zagreb met the singers who will perform at this year’s “Disney Concert: Where Dreams Become Reality” before seeing them on stage. Franka Batelić, Vanda Winter, Damir Kedžo and Dražen Bratulić spoke with children, answered their questions and posed for photographs at Kidzona.

The gathering drew strong interest, with children enthusiastically sharing their favorite Disney films and songs. Winter, who will perform at the Lisinski concert for the third time, promised a night of familiar melodies performed with the Zagreb Philharmonic. “The audience can expect lots of good entertainment and beautiful, well-known melodies performed by the Zagreb Philharmonic. We vocal soloists will enjoy all of it, and I believe the audience will feel the energy and magic of Disney music,” she said.

Bratulić has voiced Timon from ‘The Lion King’ for 25 years. He said the concert would bring together a leading orchestra, popular songs and plenty of surprises, and expressed confidence that this year’s edition would be the best yet.

After so many years, singing those songs again will be a truly special experience.

· Franka BatelićBatelić discussed returning to songs from ‘Tangled.’

Batelić said she was especially looking forward to returning to songs from ‘Tangled,’ whose heroine Rapunzel she voiced as a teenager. “After so many years, singing those songs again will be a truly special experience,” she said. Kedžo described the event as a concert for every generation and said he was especially pleased to perform “Circle of Life.”

Directed by Mia Melcher, the concerts will take place on Sept. 12 and 13 at Lisinski. The program will include songs from ‘Cinderella,’ ‘The Lion King,’ ‘Aladdin,’ ‘Moana,’ ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ ‘The Jungle Book,’ ‘The Little Mermaid,’ ‘Frozen,’ ‘Pocahontas’ and ‘Tangled.’

This is a concert for every generation, for children growing up with newer Disney films and for adults who will remember the songs they grew up with. I am especially happy that this year I will sing one of my favorite Disney songs, ‘Circle of Life.’
