Gilgamesh was first performed in 1985. Arsa has directed and staged Gilgamesh like new, contemporary opera. It was a multimedia show with contemporary sets and choreographies. The opera was highly graded by critics and audience. He also wrote another libretto Under the Sign of Mefisto for which music composed a Serbian composer Srdjan Jacimovic.
