Friendship, musical sensibility, a shared song, and a Porin Award for Best Vocal Collaboration connect Ana Opačak and Gabi Novak. Their connection is especially symbolic because they share almost the same date of birth.
"A gift for myself, and a tribute to Gabi", Ana Opačak created the concert program Ana Sings Gabi , dedicated to one of the most important Croatian singers. The program premiered on July 8, 2026, exactly the day Gabi Novak would have celebrated her 90th birthday.
The concert is conceived as an intimate homage to her unique musical expression and the songs and interpretations that have marked decades of the Croatian music scene. Accompanied by pianist Jurica Karuza, Ana Opačak brings her own readings of famous compositions from Gabi Novak's repertoire, including:
In a blend of music, poetry and memories, Ana brings an evening dedicated to the artist whose voice and interpretations have left an indelible mark on Croatian music.
