Storyteller Ina Petrova
Andrew Lloyd Webber is one of the most famous composers of the end of 20th century due to his successful productions which have been played for decades in New York and London. Many of the songs, such as I Don't Know How to Love Him from Jesus Christ Superstar, Don't Cry For Me, Argentina from Evita, Memory from Cats and The Music of the Night from The Phantom of the Opera are popular hits, living their own scenic lives.
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is one of his earliest works. Director Prof. Svetozar Donev emphasizes in his message that young people should fight for their dreams and benevolently forgive the mistakes of their fellow people because this is the best way to be happy.
According to choreographer Svetlin Ivelinov, the story of Joseph corresponds to all epochs. This is why, just like people today, the artists dance rock, tango, country and street dance. There are stylized elements in the dances, taking us to Ancient Egypt and the biblical epoch. The permanent charm of the work lies in this perpetual search for the parallel between the biblical and the contemporary conceptions of the world via the same characters.

This is because of the characters, their spirits and their aspirations to freedom. It is not only the physical freedom, but the spiritual freedom as well because this is the eternal conflict between Gradfather Liben and Hadzhi Gencho.

- Die Csardasfurstin – a new production by Nikolay Aprilov

The warm Varna autumn offers great opportunities of having meaningful encounters with talented performers in the genres of the opera, operetta, musical and ballet.
Some of the spectacles were presented for the first time at the Opera at the Summer Theater.
Now, in the hall of the Main Stage, they will be shown and perceived in a new way, allowing the audience to feel much more directly the mastery inspired by the performers’ talents.
Die Csárdásfürstin – a new production by Nikolay Aprilov
15 September, Tuesday, 19.00, Main Stage
DIE CSARDASFURSTIN
an operetta by Imre Kalman
Conductor ATANAS VARADINOV
Staging and Directing NIKOLAY APRILOV
Artists RADINA BLIZNAKOVA and LILIYA BABUNOVA
Choreography TATYANA YANEVA and IVO ADOV
Performers: VLADISLAV VLADIMIROV, BOYKA VASILEVA, BORIS LUKOV, LILYANA KONDOVA, VESELIN VACHEV, OLGA MIHAYLOVA-DINOVA, ZAKAR GOSTANYAN, LYUDMIL PETROV, PETAR PETROV, PLAMEN GEORGIEV
Famous and loved director Nikolay Aprilov, after the incredible success of Bulgarians of Olden Times, has prepared an original version of the most popular operetta with Olga Mihaylova-Dinova in the role of Sylva. “Nikolay Aprilov offers a very different, theatrically accentuated reading of the well-known title. During the rehearsal process he required from us full commitment and continuously created new challenges, mostly aesthetic ones. Emphasizing plasticity, detail, readiness for improvisation, he encouraged us to build in-depth bright characters,” says she. For Boris Lukov (Edwin), one of “The Unique Voices” trio, the participation in Die Csardasfurstin is a debut. In his opinion, unlike the opera, the operetta gives more opportunities for expression and more freedom. Veselin Vachev, also one of “The Unique Voices” trio, who played Boni before and knows the role well, said it was now that he had thoroughly comprehended the character. Actually, it is Boni who is the real engine of the action - he is the one to entangle and finally disentangle the intrigue, and has to dance quite a lot as well. In Lilyana Kondova’s opinion, Stasi is rather strange, frequently changing her moods – at one moment romantic and carefree, at another sad. She believes in love at first sight and confides that she likes this naivety and finds it charming.

This comic opera has a permanent place in the repertoires of most of the opera theatres in the world. The Varna production is the work of a team from the native land of Rossini – Italy.
