The repertoire for the new season was presented
The 132nd season of the Sofia Opera and Ballet opened with the Bulgarian operatic satire "Chatterers" by Lazar Nikolov. The occasion marked the 100th anniversary of the composer's birth. The title remains in the poster of the theatre, but there are new surprises for the audience.
On 11 May, the opera "The Hermit of Rila" will be performed on the stage of the Sofia Opera and Ballet for the first time. It is a musical poem based on lyrics by Tihomir Pavlov, written in 1937, and the music is by Father Kiril Popov.
From this season the opera has a new director of the ballet – this is the prima ballerina Marta Petkova, who despite the new position will not leave the stage as an artist, but will continue to perform.
Within the new season, Sofia Opera and Ballet will continue to perform its spectacles on open stages, with new ones being added.
