Diva impresses at Bellapais concert
DEMETRA G Mustafoğlu performed to a sold-out concert audience at Bellapais Abbey last Sunday evening as part of the 20th North Cyprus International Music Festival. Ms Mustafoğlu, who is known by the stage name “Demi G”, performed a range of songs, including hits written by Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Puccini, and Gershwin, and finished her set by singing Time to say Goodbye by Francesco Sartori. According to the Anglo-Turkish Association of Northern Cyprus, which Ms Mustafoğlu is a member of, she was given a standing ovation at the conclusion of her two-hour performance, and afterwards spoke of how she was “thrilled to be able to sing the songs which mean so much to me and my husband Mehmet, my family, and my friends, along with everyone else in the abbey tonight”.
The 20th North Cyprus International Music Festival will continue at Bellapais Abbey throughout October, with a “closing concert” on November 1.
