Development of Bulgaria's opera and ballet art

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.

Glenn Mitchell Promotes Bulgaria as Golf Destination

StandartNews, 22.10.2010

The famous producer of features for Golfing World, Glenn Mitchell, has dedicated one of his series to Bulgaria as an attractive destination for golf tourism. From this week, the feature will be broadcast in the thirty-four countries whose nationals account for the largest part of the tourists coming to Bulgaria each year. In addition, air carriers British Airways, Virgin and Lufthansa broadcast the feature during their flights to Bulgaria. The feature is part of the strategy of the Bulgarian Golf Association to promote Bulgaria as one of the leading golf destinations in Europe. At present, the promotion of golf and its development as a sport in Bulgaria, as well as all investments in golf courses and complexes, is entirely in private hands. Thus, golf is among the few recognized by the IOC sports in Bulgaria that are financed entirely by the private sector. Commercials of Bulgaria as a golf destination have been broadcast by some of the biggest TV channels in the world, including CNN, BBC and IMG media.
