A contribution
to the biography
of
Bogdan
Babic
If the sacred duty
of those who got
a special gift
oftìod

of their neighbors
as possible,
then

that duty during hisentire
short life»

father Mihailo
and brother Dusan.
248
Destiny often plays with people during their short and, mainly, sad stay in
this only possible world. It played with
Bogdan
Babic
since almost his birth
until his death. From his happy childhood in a family of a respected mer¬
chant from Gunduliceva street with his father Mihailo and mother Vido-
sava, Serbs from Zagreb, via the painful war years of concentration camp
and forced labor, the postwar years of poverty in the so called time of
struggle and reconstruction , until the stage lights, facing the ensembles of
the Belgrade Opera and Ballet, the
Chorus of the Belgrade University
students

the performances on the greatest

opera and concert stages of our
pla-
A contribution to the biography of a Great Man
net. Finally, the last and, unfortuna-
tely, lost
batìk
with the perfidious VLADIMIR HOLOVKA
disease.
Bogdan
passed through all
____________________________________________________
ordeals of life, through suffering, joy,
love, devotion to art and to his job,
keeping always his full swing in the mission given to him by the Providence
-
to promote music and its blessings and beauty.
The first remembrances in the life of
Bogdan
Babic,
as he told us on
one occasion, were linked to the building of the Zagreb Theatre where he
was taken, together with his brother Dusan, by his father, an opera fan of
Wagner; that is, probably, why
Bogdan
Babic,
conductor, was always fond of
that great German composer and his works.
Still, fulfilling the will expressed by his father immediately before his
death, at the eve of the Second World War, he entered the Chemical School
of the Zagreb University, and interrupted his studies already in the first
year, when the Ustashis took power in the Independent State . After two
months in the Purgatory at the Fairground,
Bogdan,
Dusan, and their mo¬
ther still succeeded in escaping the fate of the majority of the so confined
Zagreb Serbs
-
to become, already in the spring of
1941
the victims of the
forthcoming massacre, and their prominent relatives sent them immediately
to Serbia, to Belgrade, to his father s first cousin, where he was enrolled, for
a short time, at the Law school of the Belgrade University.
The relatively peaceful period in occupied Belgrade remained just a
short remembrance to
Bogdan,
for he was sent, as a twenty years old boy, to
forced labor in the Kostolac Mine, to dig coal for the Germans. Still, thanks
to Mr. Coincidence that was not only a tragedy.
Babic
met there the lead¬
ing dancer of the Belgrade Ballet, Milan Momcilovic,, and, using the piano
of the primary school in Kostolac, they established a small
troup
and per¬
formed mini concerts in the town, in the mine, and in the nearby villages
in Homoqe, as well.
After his return to Belgrade, he looked for a job and got it in the paint
factory of Nedeqko
Savie
(later
Duga ),
with the help of his short studies
of chemistry in Zagreb. The owner of the factory,
Savie,
had a piano in one
of his offices in the administrative building, and after
Bogdan sat
only once
at the piano, Uncle Nedeljko immediately understood whom he hired to mix
paints. Opera fan and donor to the National Theatre,
Savie
took
Bogdan
to
the Opera House, introduced him to Stevan Hristic, great Serbian composer
249
Bogdan and
Dušan
with their cousins
Gojko and Veljko Korac.
and conductor, who brought
Bogdan
Babic
to the Opera for rehearser
immediately after the liberation of Belgrade, in the fall of
1944.
At that moment, there started for
Bogdan
a period of life in which
there was no moment for rest, a life in which he had to learn, to create, to
travel incessantly, to create and learn again, almost until the moment of his
death, a premature death, when he was only
59.
If Hristic introduced
Babic
in the world of opera and ballet, even ced¬
ing to him his conductor s stand for The Legend of
Ohrid
already at the
beginning of his career, and introduced him in the world of the Italian
opera repertoire, the repertoire that was dearest to
Bogdan
until the last day
of his life, another great conductor of that time,
Oskar Danon,
Director of
the Opera of the National Theatre
,
entrusted
Bogdan
with the conductor s
płace
of
II Barbiere di
Sevilla ,
when he was only
24.
Excellent knowledge of the score, magnificent gesture and the temer¬
ity of a young man qualified
Bogdan
for other works, mainly from the
Italian repertoire of the Opera, and Baranovic, Milosevic and other con¬
ductors in the First Division of Belgrade, ceded their performances to
Bogdan.Approaching his job with enormous energy and enthusiasm, and
always pleasant and good humored.
Bogdan
acquired the friendship of all
generations of the building at the Square, helping primarily his peers,
young talented people, to develop as rapidly as possible their vocal and
other musical gifts, not forgetting, of course, the elder, experienced people
in the Opera and Ballet. In that period, the great
Krešimir
Baranovic took
him for his alternate conductor, especially for the domestic, national reper¬
toire, And so
Babic
prepared and conducted all national operas, until his
death (the last opera, Nastasijevic s Djuradj Brankovic brought him a tri¬
umph in Zagreb, although he was already pressed by heavy disease, in the
last days of his life).
250
One of the unfulfilled wishes of maestro
Babic
was to work with yo¬
ung talents, and to establish, together with his favorite singers,
Biserka Cvejic
and
Radmila Bakocevic,
a school for advanced interpretation studies.
Still, all these long years of work in the Opera House, work with sym¬
phony orchestras from all republics of the postwar Yugoslavia and from all
over the world, concert performances with the greatest stars of the opera
sky of our planet, performances with Pleiades of ballet dancers all over the
world, were overshadowed by what
Bogdan
did with the students of Bel¬
grade
-
singers in the
Branko Krsmanovic
chorus. But that will be told in
another contribution to this Monography.
Bogdan
and
Kosara
1954
a.d. Belgrade without electricity, performance cancelled. A young
ballerina standing in front of the building at the Square, not knowing where
to go. Why are you so unhappy
-
a question that confuses. Almost not
looking at the person to whom she answered, she said: I don t know, I am
simply unhappy, I do not know where to go .
Wait for three days, and then we will go together to
Subotica,
for a
ballet performance, we will walk along the
Palic
Lake, we will talk, the sor¬
row will vanish
-
Bogdan
told the young ballerina,
Kosara Radivojevic,
with whom he worked in the same theater since
1945,
but the destiny decid¬
ed that he should see her tears only then.
So they went to
Subotica,
they walked, they talked, and so during
27
years, until death did part them. During all that time,
Kosara
was his Muse,
his wife, his lover, housewife, nurse, the inspiration of his life, assistant and
helper on every occasion, especially regarding Krsmanovic , his lifelong fri¬
end and companion on all beautiful, but also very difficult and strenuous
journeys.
Kosara
joined the ballet directly from the school bench in
1945,
as a
small girl. Maybe she would have achieved in the ballet more than she actu¬
ally did (she was a soloist with a prominent repertoire) had it not been for
the sad rainy evening in
1954.
But, had it been so, we would probably de¬
prived of the
Bogdan
Babic,
as he became with her support. Strong, resi¬
lient, without a single malicious word for anybody or anything in this world,
without bad gestures, discreet, calm, patient
-
let every decision wait over¬
night . In all that,
Kosara
was obviously his main assistant and support.
Gods take early to them those whom they love, an old Latin sentence,
found, unfortunately, its application in this case. In full strength, full up to
the neck of opera repertoire and of plans with Krsmanac ,
Bogdan
had his
first
infarctus on
March, 4th,
1980
at Kosmaj, where he prepared, in his mo¬
dest summer house, his repertoire for the
Dubrovnik
Festival. In Zagreb,
where he celebrated, recovered, with his schoolmates, the last generation of
prewar high school, he saw his assistant in Krsmanac , Darinka Matic-
Marovic conducting at the Summer Festival in
Dubrovnik.
During that
summer, completely recovered, he attended a reception in the
Metropol
Hotel, did not feel well, and retired. The health improvement was short, all
people were optimists, especially he and
Kosara,
but the implacable destiny
made its move.
251
Once more, his strong body overcame the disease. After the celebra¬
tion of his 58th birthday (on September, 27th, at Kosmaj, with his family and
friends), he went for a medical check to Vienna, came back with good prog¬
nosis and conducted, for the last time, the Masked Ball . However, his heart
got weaker abruptly, and he invested enormous efforts to conduct the per¬
formance until the end. He went back to his savior, Kosmaj, but this time
there was no salvation. On December 17th,
Kosara
put him in the clinic aga¬
in. He awoke from the coma on December 22nd, in the morning, just when
the medical consulting body said that there was no recovery. Still, he found
enough strength to say, under the closed eyelids,:
Kole,
I want to see my
greatest friend,
Kolja
Cajkanovic (he saw him that same day at
3
p.m.) and
you go and operate your hip. I will push you until you start walking again .
That same day, he died at
6.15 p.m.
He was burried in the Alley of the
Great, in the New Cemetery in Belgrade, on December, 25th, with Mo-
kranjac s Njest Svjat sung without conductor, through the tears in the
eyes of all generations of Krsmanac and of the Belgrade music and the¬
ater lovers, gathered together for the last time in front of their maestro.

paints. Opera fan and donor to the National Theatre,
Savie
took
Bogdan
to
the Opera House, introduced him to Stevan Hristic, great Serbian composer
249
Bogdan and
Dušan
with their cousins
Gojko and Veljko Korac.
and conductor, who brought
Bogdan
Babic
to the Opera for rehearser
immediately after the liberation of Belgrade, in the fall of
1944.
At that moment, there started for
Bogdan
a period of life in which
there was no moment for rest, a life in which he had to learn, to create, to
travel incessantly, to create and learn again, almost until the moment of his
death, a premature death, when he was only
59.
If Hristic introduced
Babic
in the world of opera and ballet, even ced¬
ing to him his conductor's stand for "The Legend of
Ohrid"
already at the
beginning of his career, and introduced him in the world of the Italian
opera repertoire, the repertoire that was dearest to
Bogdan
until the last day
of his life, another great conductor of that time,
Oskar Danon,
Director of
the Opera of the National Theatre
,
entrusted
Bogdan
with the conductor's
płace
of
"II Barbiere di
Sevilla",
when he was only
24.
Excellent knowledge of the score, magnificent gesture and the temer¬
ity of a young man qualified
Bogdan
for other works, mainly from the
Italian repertoire of the Opera, and Baranovic, Milosevic and other con¬
ductors in the "First Division" of Belgrade, ceded "their" performances to
Bogdan.Approaching his job with enormous energy and enthusiasm, and
always pleasant and good humored.
Bogdan
acquired the friendship of all
generations of the building at the Square, helping primarily his peers,
young talented people, to develop as rapidly as possible their vocal and
other musical gifts, not forgetting, of course, the elder, experienced people
in the Opera and Ballet. In that period, the great
Krešimir
Baranovic took
him for his alternate conductor, especially for the domestic, national reper¬
toire, And so
Babic
prepared and conducted all national operas, until his
death (the last opera, Nastasijevic's "Djuradj Brankovic" brought him a tri¬
umph in Zagreb, although he was already pressed by heavy disease, in the
last days of his life).
250
One of the unfulfilled wishes of maestro
Babic
was to work with yo¬
ung talents, and to establish, together with his favorite singers,
Biserka Cvejic
and
Radmila Bakocevic,
a school for advanced interpretation studies.
Still, all these long years of work in the Opera House, work with sym¬
phony orchestras from all republics of the postwar Yugoslavia and from all
over the world, concert performances with the greatest stars of the opera
sky of our planet, performances with Pleiades of ballet dancers all over the
world, were overshadowed by what
Bogdan
did with the students of Bel¬
grade
-
singers in the
"Branko Krsmanovic"
chorus. But that will be told in
another contribution to this Monography.
Bogdan
and
Kosara
1954
a.d. Belgrade without electricity, performance cancelled. A young
ballerina standing in front of the building at the Square, not knowing where
to go. "Why are you so unhappy"
-
a question that confuses. Almost not
looking at the person to whom she answered, she said: "I don't know, I am
simply unhappy, I do not know where to go".
"Wait for three days, and then we will go together to
Subotica,
for a
ballet performance, we will walk along the
Palic
Lake, we will talk, the sor¬
row will vanish"
-
Bogdan
told the young ballerina,
Kosara Radivojevic,
with whom he worked in the same theater since
1945,
but the destiny decid¬
ed that he should see her tears only then.
So they went to
Subotica,
they walked, they talked, and so during
27
years, until death did part them. During all that time,
Kosara
was his Muse,
his wife, his lover, housewife, nurse, the inspiration of his life, assistant and
helper on every occasion, especially regarding "Krsmanovic", his lifelong fri¬
end and companion on all beautiful, but also very difficult and strenuous
journeys.
Kosara
joined the ballet directly from the school bench in
1945,
as a
small girl. Maybe she would have achieved in the ballet more than she actu¬
ally did (she was a soloist with a prominent repertoire) had it not been for
the sad rainy evening in
1954.
But, had it been so, we would probably de¬
prived of the
Bogdan
Babic,
as he became with her support. Strong, resi¬
lient, without a single malicious word for anybody or anything in this world,
without bad gestures, discreet, calm, patient
-
"let every decision wait over¬
night". In all that,
Kosara
was obviously his main assistant and support.
Gods take early to them those whom they love, an old Latin sentence,
found, unfortunately, its application in this case. In full strength, full "up to
the neck" of opera repertoire and of plans with "Krsmanac",
Bogdan
had his
first
infarctus on
March, 4th,
1980
at Kosmaj, where he prepared, in his mo¬
dest summer house, his repertoire for the
Dubrovnik
Festival. In Zagreb,
where he celebrated, recovered, with his schoolmates, the last generation of
prewar high school, he saw his assistant in "Krsmanac", Darinka Matic-
Marovic conducting at the Summer Festival in
Dubrovnik.
During that
summer, completely recovered, he attended a reception in the
Metropol
Hotel, did not feel well, and retired. The health improvement was short, all
people were optimists, especially he and
Kosara,
but the implacable destiny
made its move.
251
Once more, his strong body overcame the disease. After the celebra¬
tion of his 58th birthday (on September, 27th, at Kosmaj, with his family and
friends), he went for a medical check to Vienna, came back with good prog¬
nosis and conducted, for the last time, the "Masked Ball". However, his heart
got weaker abruptly, and he invested enormous efforts to conduct the per¬
formance until the end. He went back to his savior, Kosmaj, but this time
there was no salvation. On December 17th,
Kosara
put him in the clinic aga¬
in. He awoke from the coma on December 22nd, in the morning, just when
the medical consulting body said that there was no recovery. Still, he found
enough strength to say, under the closed eyelids,:
"Kole,
I want to see my
greatest friend,
Kolja
Cajkanovic (he saw him that same day at
3
p.m.) and
you go and operate your hip. I will push you until you start walking again".
That same day, he died at
6.15 p.m.
He was burried in the Alley of the
Great, in the New Cemetery in Belgrade, on December, 25th, with Mo-
kranjac's "Njest Svjat" sung without conductor, through the tears in the
eyes of all generations of "Krsmanac" and of the Belgrade music and the¬
ater lovers, gathered together for the last time in front of their maestro.
