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.

Ski lift passes in Pamporovo are payable with a card

15.12.2012

The winter resort Pamporovo has executed an innovative project which is expected to decrease the queues at the booths where one can buy a ski lift pass. At the same time, foreign and Bulgarian tourists will feel more comfortable. Skiers will be able to buy tickets and ski lift passes with their credit card at the automatic cashiers. The purchase will take less time to be processed as the transaction needs nearly 5-10 seconds to be confirmed and successfully processed.

The new service will help tourists stay with less money in cash. The new way of buying a ski lift pass is particularly comfortable for foreign tourists who don’t need to exchange currency. The traditional cashiers for tickets will continue working as usual and therefore tourists can still buy ski lift passes in cash. The management of Pamporovo believes that skiers will get used to the new way of payment and will prefer it as it’s more convenient and faster.
