Our fifth premiere, Der Fliegende Holländer, has been accomplished together with our friends from the National Opera in Belgrade.

An unforgettable summer is before us, in which the emotions and inspiration will help us to enjoy beauty, mastership and harmony. Good luck to all the participants and our loyal audience!

The brilliant history of the most loved ballet spectacle in the world began in 1895 on the stage of the Mariinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg. The innovative choreographic edition by Lev Ivanov recreated not only the movements of real birds, but it also expressed strong emotions like love, fear, pain and anxiety, the spectacle reached a new psychological depth. In his turn Marius Petipa staged the waltz, mazurka and the rest of the dances for the scene in the palace. Sergei Bobrov is chief artistic director of the State Theatre for Opera and Ballet in Krasnoyarsk and of the Varna ballet troupe. In his edition he introduces new elements which are related to the modern tendencies of classical dance.

The work of Imre Kalman is among the preferred titles in Varna. As early as 1923, only several years after its premiere, Aleksandar Naumov, Bandmaster of the Navy Brass Orchestra, and the music teacher Krum Mumdzhiev staged with the participation of amateurs the first production of the operetta. In 1957, under the conductorship of Emil Glavanakov, director Bohos Efeyan and artist Mariana Popova, the first production of Die Csárdásfürstin was accomplished by the professional Varna opera troupe. Since then the title is invariably part of the repertoire of State Opera Varna. The star of the National Music Theatre and director Aleksandar Mutafchiyski, born in Varna and loved by the Varna audience, is considered by the music critics as a praiseworthy successor of the unforgettable Vidin Daskalov (1929 – 2001), who realized the most successful production of Die Csárdásfürstin in 1996.
Duration 2:30 hours, with one interval. Performed in Bulgarian with titles in English and German.

“The story of Violetta Valery is true to the reality of the historical time when it happens, rising to the tragic ballad of the tragic love. Marie Duplessis, Marguerite Gautier, Giuseppina Strepponi or Violetta Valery – does it matter which of them? – the story is about the one who calls herself “traviata’, i.e. the derailed, astray the right path, but who cherishes deep in her heart ‘a tender longing for happiness’. The story is about a night moth, marked by death, who in the noisy ecstasy of conquered Paris is dreaming of true love, aware that this is ‘Insanity!’ And… chooses insanity! Paradox…” Kuzman Popov – director
Duration 2:45 hours, with one interval. Performed in Italian with titles in Bulgarian and English.

BALLET IN BANSKO 2018

“N. Y. Vaptsarov” Community Center
Beginning 18.00
The Nutcracker 4.01
Swan Lake 5.01
The Poorly Guarded Girl 6.01
For a fourth year in a row the citizens and guests of the large ski center will be able to combine the emotions of the winter sports with the gracefulness of the classical dance. From 4 to 6 January, every evening at 18.00, on the stage of “Nikola Y. Vaptsarov” Community Center the ballet troupe of the Varna Opera together with guest-soloists of the Kremlin Ballet in Moscow will present hallmark examples of the dance art.
THE NUTCRACKER by Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky is a fairy-tale ballet in two acts after the story “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann. The plot tells of little Marie who is dreaming of a real Christmas gift, but instead she gets a nutcracker in the form of a soldier in a beautiful uniform. Still, the dream comes true – the dream takes Marie to a magic kingdom where she dances in the arms of her Nutcracker Prince. She experiences wonderful adventures, meeting a king and a queen, mice and a whole army of lead soldiers. Her dolls show fascinating dances from Spain, China, Russia, France, and finally all spin around in a happy final waltz. PHOTO
THE POORLY GUARDED GIRL by Ludwig Hertel is one of the first classical ballet works. It will be presented in a new choreographic edition by the soloist of the Bolshoy Theater Sergei Antonov. The premiere of the work was in the remote 1789 in Bordeaux, France, and since then it has been one of the most preferred titles. The plot tells of the love between Lise and Colas which is threatened by the mean intentions of the mother of the girl – Marcelina, who wants to arrange a marriage of convenience for her. Slowly and imperceptibly the feelings between the two young people get strengthened and overcome the dishonest plan of the mother, who turns out to be forced to give her blessing. In his version Sergei Antonov adds new personages: the Gypsy woman who tells the fortune to Lise and Colas, predicting them the future wedding, and Marcelina, Lise’s mother. The ballet is developed on the basis of the classical dance, but it contains lots of comic and play-like situations, which makes it attractive to wide audiences of all ages. photo
SWAN LAKE with the genius music by P. I. Tchaikovsky is the most significant ballet work in the world, a symbol of the classical ballet. At the basis of the plot is an old German legend about the beautiful princess Odette, turned into a swan by the evil magician Rothbart. The Varna production retains the classical interpretation of the ballet with its lyrical charm and liveliness, where music and dance are in harmony. PHOTO
