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.

Nessebar makes restoration process of two old churches ‘St.John the Baptist’ and ‘St.Paraskeva’ under a project of the program ‘Regional development’. Restoration of two churches should be completed in two years. Medieval churches ‘St.John the Baptist’ and ‘St.Paraskeva’ mark the beginning of the specialised tourist route, called ‘Religious route’. Thus, Nessebar starts the integration of cultural and pilgrimage tourism in a traditional holiday destination. The municipality works on the projects for the restoration of over 11 traditional churches, included in the route. All temples will be restored and conserved, the route will be properly marked and the churches will be illuminated.

The municipality would like to apply for a project to restore the Roman mineral baths. Only two ancient churches have been restored within the last two years and one of them, St.Stephen, was even inaugurated and now it is fully functional. It is believed that religious and wedding tourism will be further developed in Nessebar.
