Opera Open 2019

OPERA OPEN expands the creative boundaries of opera, both in genre and style, by producing performances with original and innovative staging in the fields of symphonic music, opera, and dance. The concept of OPERA OPEN is to remain open not only to diverse genres and creative challenges but also to new audiences. Performances at the Ancient Theatre attract a large audience and offer a heightened shared experience of art in a symbolic venue with centuries of cultural history.

Highlights of the OPERA OPEN 2019 program include the premiere of Orpheus on June 15, 2019, directed by renowned opera director Stefano Poda; The Force of Destiny, a grand co-production with Teatro Regio di Parma and the Verdi Festival; and a ballet performance featuring soloists from the Bolshoi Theatre. The festival will showcase world-famous opera performers and conductors from Europe, the USA, and Asia, as well as Bulgarian singers and musicians with distinguished international careers.
