Sažetak
Liga Doroghy, soprano singer, was born in Zagreb in 1911 and died in her native town in 1979. Her entire life was connected with Zagreb. However, the reference book Pregled arhivskih fondova i zbirki Republike Hrvatske (Overview of Archival Collections of the Republic of Croatia) in its ‘index of geographic terms’ classifies the Liga Doroghy personal records/files under Križevci, which prompted the author to investigate the link. The paper is based on the complete material of the Doroghy records, newspaper articles and re-views as well as the talk with Iva Jeric Pozajić, Liga’s daughter. The most important elements of Doroghy’s biography are mentioned, which makes it clear that there is no significant connection with Križevci. But in the late 30’s, known as the period of cultural lethargy, Liga Doroghy held three concerts in Križevci (1936, 1937 and 1938). All of them were organized by the local Public Library.
At her first concert on 22nd November in 1936, Liga presented herself as a soloist accompanied by Melita Lorković, at the second, on 13th November 1937 she appeared with Stjepan Šulek (violin) and Mladen Pozajić (piano), whereas at the third concert on 5th November 1938 she was a member of chamber vocal ensemble Zagrebački madrigalisti/Zagreb Madriga lists). This paper points at Liga Doroghy’s selected solo repertoire and the effect those concerts had on the audience (facts taken from articles of the time).
By choosing a repertoire close to contempo¬rary audience, Liga could present all of her singing qualities as well as the interpretative talents, which was warmly accepted and welcomed by both, crit¬ics and general public. Although the three concerts in three successive years may now seem few, they brought to the city and its music lovers outstan¬ding musical experiences with a diverse program, a rich repertoire of domestic composers and, in a period of cultural lethargy, gave a positive impetus for further work.
