Summer holiday at Bulgaria’s Sourthern Black Sea coast

Opera performances in Bulgaria

During your stay in Sofia you can experience an unforgettable evening in the National Opera Theatre. In the elegant hall of the Opera House you will dip in the magic of sound and fascinating stage effects, while enjoying the sophisticated performances of Bulgarian artists. The National Opera Theatre offers a rich repertory of both world opera classics and famous works by Bulgarian composers. The repertory of the Ballet troupe at the National Opera Theatre includes titles from the world classics as well as modern ballet performances. On the website of the National Opera Theatre you will find the programme of the opera and ballet performances along with curious facts about the history of the Opera House, photos and news: http://www.geobiz.com/sfopera/index_en.html

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.

Summer holiday at Bulgaria’s Sourthern Black Sea coast

27.07.2013

Beach tourism is more than just a silky coastline, a hotel, sea and fun. It definitely concerns all the landmarks which the respective region offers. Both Northern and Southern Black Sea coastal resorts in Bulgaria offer a lot. If you have read our guide to the Northern Black Sea, then make sure that you have at least one day to experience the beauty of the Southern Black Sea.

Landmarks at Southern Black Sea coast

1. Begliktash

Begliktash is an ancient Thracian sanctuary. It is located near Primosko, only 3km away from the resort. The sanctuary is interesting and you don’t have the chance to see such an interesting sanctuary every day. This unique rock structure was made by the Thracians who thus defined where their temple, calendar are located.

2. Charming Old town of Nessebar

This is one of my landmarks. The old town in Nessebar is an architectural and historic reserve. Nessebar is an ancient town which was created 3200 years ago. Traces of Thracian and Roman presence can be seen anywhere. You can also see remnants of Byzantium baths. Nessebar is an impressive town with a rich history and unique atmosphere. It is a resort which combines the modern and the ancient pieces in a remarkable way. No matter whether you have a holiday in Nessebar or Sunny Beach, St.Vlas, Ravda, you should definitely spend a day in Nessebar and I am sure that you will not regret it. The architecture of Bulgarian houses from the Revival period, the mystery around the Roman remnants and the ancient churches are intertwined. Some of the most popular landmarks in Nessebar are the impressive church “St.Sophia”, the church “Joan the Baptist”, the church “St.Stefan” and others.

3. Ropotamo River

Ropotamo River is a favourite place for those love fishing, but it’s also a beautiful place where you can just enjoy the serenity and the magic sounds of the nature. It is considered that the river is named after the Greek Goddess Ro. Ro means “run” and “potamo” means a river. You can consider a boat tour to feel the full beauty of the river. Undoubtedly the Ropotamo river is most famous for its water lilies. They are so gentle and they gracefully float on the water surface that you will soon find out how unrivalled this experience is.

4. Pomorie Lake

%RIMG%Pomorie Lake is located to the north of Pomorie and it’s just 20km away from Bourgas. The salt museum is located at the banks of the lake. You will find a nature reserve in a closely proximity.
