5 days until the beginning of the Wagner Festival of the Sofia Opera

From 13 to 23 June the Sofia Opera House opens its doors for a fantastic Wagner Festival, which includes the premiere of “Lohengrin” and the tetralogy “Der Ring des Nibelungen”.

Six festival nights await with the haunting music of Richard Wagner and the spectacular directorial vision of Plamen Kartaloff.

Conductors will be Constantin Trinks and Evan-Alexis Christ.

Today we present Greek baritone Aris Argyris, who will take on the role of Wotan in “Die Walküre” on 16 June. He is a frequent guest on Europe's biggest stages and also a professor at the University of the Arts in Berlin.

It should be recalled that “Die Walküre” has also been performed abroad several times – at the Neuschwanstein Festival Theatre in Füssen, Germany, and during the May Musical Evenings at the National Opera and Ballet in Skopje, North Macedonia this year.
