From opera Don Xhovani of Mozart, under the main role of Donna Annas, she has revealed her strong voice in front of the Japanese professional guests.

"We had 5 shows, which I've been through very successfully. I was delighted to watch the scene with colleagues and conductors in the direction of prominent opera professionals and was my debut in that theater and role-playing. So it was a very important event for me and I'm very happy that everything went well", the soprano says.

Qerkezi is an example of how the art goes beyond the daily discussions and social prejudices. She received great attention in theatrical scenes of Moscow and Barcelona in ​​Spain, despite the diplomatic relations of the two countries with Kosovo - these countries does not recognise Kosovo as an independend state.

"It is a surprise fact, both for the public and when I  present myself when they hear from were I'm coming and in most of the theaters, if not all, I'm the first from Kosovo to perform in those scenes," says Marigona Qerkezi

The debut that says has brought luck in her life is again from a Mozart opera, the opera entitled the Magic Flute. In the role of Queen of the Night, besides solo singing, she also showed her skills on the flute.
