Opera
The opera “Skënderbeu” is one of the most important works of Qëndrim Rijani as a director, on which he worked with the composer Fatos Lumani and the librettist Arian Krasniqi.[18] The first announcement for work being underway on this opera first came from an interview at Ora News, nine months before the premiere.[19] This opera is the first Albanian opera in North Macedonia. This historical opera premiered at the national theater of the Macedonian Opera and Ballet on 23 December 2019. It was very well receive by the public receiving a standing ovation that lasted nine full minutes.[20]
Style
What characterizes Qëndrim Rijani is his rough style that he conveys in plays through the characters.[21] These characters, by way of their emotional burden and their direct nature, come out via dark humour with a coarseness differentiating them from the portraits of traditional theater. This style is also reflected in his favourite playwright: Martin McDonagh,[22] three plays of whom he has put on stage and he has also participated in a theater festival dedicated to this playwright in Perm, Russia.
Awards
These performances (below) have been awarded with over fifty prizes. Through them, he has been honored with twelve personal awards as a director, including awards such as "Director of the Year" in Albania, "Director of the Year" in Macedonia, the "Performance of the Year" award in Kosovo, the "Vojdan Chernodrinski" [23] award for the best direction, the "Moisiu" [24] award for the best direction and the best performance.
