It was after the liberation of Ottoman rule that the classical opera and ballet art was established in Bulgaria. The Opera theatre was founded in 1890, at a time when Bulgaria lived through political and economic instability, but managed to survive and, moreover, to cultivate in the Bulgarian people a fine taste for opera music. Bulgarian opera composers and singers carefully studied the traditions of the Western European and the Russian Opera Theatre and developed the unique style of the Bulgarian opera music and ballet. Thanks to the zealous efforts and the boundless creative spirit of Bulgarian musicians, the National Opera Theatre gradually gained international prestige. Today Bulgarian performers participate in guest tours worldwide and foreign world-famous artists hold performances in the hall of the Opera House. The hard economic situation in Bulgaria has influenced all spheres of culture, including the opera art. In spite of the economic difficulties the National Opera Theatre continues its activities relying on sponsorship and trying to attract young audience. The Easter Festival and the performances for the Christmas holidays with participation of Bulgarian and foreign musicians are the most exciting and the most visited musical events in the Opera Theatre.Opera performances in Plovdiv, Varna and Bourgas
Besides the performances in the National Opera Theatre in Sofia, you can enjoy an exciting opera evening in other cities in Bulgaria. If have a free evening during your stay in Plovdiv, you can visit the Plovdiv Opera House and the Plovdiv Philharmony. The Varna Days of music and the International Ballet competition take place on the stage of the Open Air Theatre in Varna. The Opera Houses in city of Bourgas and in the towns of Rousse and Stara Zagora also stage amazing opera performances.Sandanski has a great potential to develop cultural tourism in the region

The guest exhibition of National History Museum will be also presented at the conference. Sandanski is considered to tbe the birthplace of Spartacus. The municipality now works on the development of cultural tourism in the region and therefore a brochure will be duly issued. It will include useful information and tourists will be able to either get familiar with local crafts, participate in rites or simply explore the region and various landmarks. The detailed catalogue should be issued within 1 month. It will also include information about two villages in the region. One of them is Pirin where one can still learn the secret of Bulgarian folklore singing. The other village is Levunovo where weaving is the main craft which one can get acquainted with. Thus, visitors will be able to explore rural tourism opportunities of Sandanski region.
Actually cultural tourism is not only associated with popular landmarks in Sandanski, but also local crafts, traditions, dances and everyday activities which await to be explored by the curious traveller.
