THE 3: When Three Women Choose to Be Infinite
THE 3 — When Three Women Choose to Be Infinite
The most anticipated musical event of 2026 premieres on May 30th at MTS Hall in Belgrade
There are evenings when music stops being entertainment and becomes something harder to name — a collective act of courage, a silent manifesto, a declaration of identity that asks no one’s permission. THE 3, scheduled for May 30, 2026 at 8:00 PM at MTS Hall in Belgrade, is exactly that.
Not a concert. Not a show. An event.
Three Voices, Three Universes, One Single Force
Before they were artists, they were women who leaped into the unknown with their hearts wide open. Three different journeys, three distinct musical languages, three souls who chose — with a quiet and unstoppable determination — to express themselves fully, without compromise, without a safety net.
Lena Kovačević, singer-songwriter and graduate of the prestigious Conservatorium van Amsterdam, has built her artistic identity the way a goldsmith crafts a jewel: with patience, precision, and a clear vision. Her jazz, infused with pop and Balkan musical nuances, has crossed regional borders to reach international radio stations, European stages, Novak Đoković’s wedding, the Albertina Museum in Vienna, and concert sets alongside world jazz legends Peter Erskine and Randy Brecker. Her voice does not follow trends — it anticipates them. Oxford Worldwide Press named her one of the most influential personalities in the Balkans: a recognition that feels more like a confirmation of what audiences have long known.
Jelena Gavrilović is one of those artists the stage seems to have been invented for. An actress and singer of rare scenic intensity, she trained at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad before conquering the international market with the series The Outpost (SYFY), Robin Hood (MGM+), and the British film Gassed Up (Amazon Prime Video). But her most intimate secret is known to children around the world: she is the voice of Elsa in Frozen and Frozen II, and her performance of Let It Go was ranked among the 25 best dubbing performances worldwide — one of the most extraordinary recognitions in the history of Serbian dubbing. From Broadway musicals to concerts with symphony orchestras, Jelena moves between artistic languages as if boundaries between them did not exist. For her, they don’t.
Marija Jelić is monumentality made voice. A dramatically acclaimed soprano of international renown, she has performed in more than 25 countries — from Italy and Germany to Austria, China, South Korea, Argentina, Mexico, Israel, and the United States. She has graced the stage of Carnegie Hall as a solo performer. She has sung alongside Plácido Domingo. Her repertoire embraces the heights of Italian opera — Mimì, Tosca, Madama Butterfly, Aida, Suor Angelica, Santuzza, Nedda — delivered with a technique and stage authority that led Oxford Worldwide Press to list her among the most successful individuals from Serbia on a global level. When Marija sings, the hall does not listen — it holds its breath.
A Project That Rewrites the Rules
THE 3 is an immersive music-theatre project that for the first time unites on the same stage three radically different artistic energies, merging them into a new sonic and visual dimension. Accompanied by a symphony orchestra conducted by Olga Biserčić, a live band of the highest calibre, and AI-created video projections developed exclusively for the show, the three artists will journey through musical worlds that rarely meet: the world’s most beautiful operatic arias, cinematic classics, great pop-rock hits, and Broadway evergreens.
The result is what the creators call a “live cinematic frame” — a cinematic moment brought to life on stage, where music is not merely heard but seen, felt on the skin, breathed in the air.
A Message That Goes Beyond Music
THE 3 carries with it a profound and urgently relevant reflection: a value that does not depend on external validation, an identity that is not measured by applause. In a time of global transition, three women choose to step onto a stage not to be approved, but to be authentic. Not to please, but to express.
The social dimension of the event is equally tangible: at each stop of the tour, a young musical talent will be presented to the audience. A share of the proceeds will be directed to humanitarian causes. Beauty that generates beauty — the circle closes.
The Beginning of a Journey
May 30, 2026 at MTS Hall in Belgrade is not a destination. It is the launch of a regional and international tour set to bring this singular project to European and world stages.
THE 3 is not simply a concert to attend. It is an appointment with something greater — living proof that when three women decide to leap with their hearts beyond the horizon, the world stops and listens.
