The Varna Summer Theater was built 60 years

ago, in 1957. The construction was under the

supervision of Ivan Kovachev, assisted by Yordan

Donev. It was designed by architect Zhecho

Cholakov. Initially, the theater had 1,600 seats.

At the end of the 1960s the balcony was built,

which enlarged its capacity to 2,400 seats. The

embossments were made by the great Bulgarian

sculptor Lyubomir Dalchev. For decades the stage

of the Summer Theater has hosted the Varna

Summer International Music Festival, the Varna

International Ballet Competition, the International

Folklore Festival, concerts by pop and rock

singers…

During the last eight years this unique place has

been associated with the Opera in the Summer Theater as well. It is a place where lots of world

famous performers meet. Once again in 2017

we will be loyal to our aspiration to present the

latest tendencies in the world opera, ballet and

musical. Since 2016 it has been the place where

the troupe of the Varna Drama Theater Stoyan Bachvarov has also given performances. Ahead

of us is an exciting summer, marked by the

highest achievements of composers, directors,

choreographers, artists and performers.

Most sincerely I wish you lots of mutual positive

emotions with the bright artistic talents at the

Opera in the Summer Theater 2017!

Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber is the contemporary

genius of the musical. After its premiere in the West

end in London in 1981 and its American production

on Broadway in New York, the next year the

musical was performed all over the world, gaining

tremendous success. The cats’ world embedded in

Cats directly relates to the diverse types in human

society – stealing cats, criminal cats, prostituting

cats… Prof. Svetozar Donev sought a modern,

clear and stylized vision, closer

to his contemporaries. Anna

Doneva focused on the people

with whom she was working.

In her opinion, the cats’ world

embedded in Cats is not foreign

to ours.

About the popularity of The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas, peré, someone is believed to have

said, “We all remember the novel without having read it at all.” This is one of the most adapted for the

screen literary works of all times. We should not forget that the plot is of the kind which parents joyfully

retell to their children as an example of a story, combining heroic honor, historical grandeur, a story

about the power of friendship and last but not least – a love romance.”

CARMEN opera in four acts by Georges Bizet

Libretto by henri Meilhac and Ludovic halévy, based on

the novella of the same title by Prosper Mérimée

19.07.WEDnESDAy

21:00 – 00:00

For the great French composer Georges Bizet

the opera Carmen was simultaneously a flight

of his genius and a life fiasco. The characters

are bandits, smugglers, soldiers. The indignant

members of the audience at the premiere outdid

one another in showing their repulsion at the

main heroine calling her “a depraved Gypsy”,

“a shameless seductress”, “an adventuress

without moral principles”, etc. Bizet could not

bear the failure of the premiere at the Paris

Opera-Comique in 1875 and died three months

later. After seven years the opera returned to

Paris with tremendous success and since then

it has been triumphant all over the world. For

the soloist of the Varna State Opera, Dimitrinka

raycheva (photo), the part of Carmen is one of

her latest achievements in her rich repertoire.

Turkish tenor, Murat Karahan, has a doctoral

degree from the Bilkent University of Music and

Performing Arts, Ankara; a specialization at

the Santa Cecilia Academy – rome with Prof.

Bruno Cagli and participation in a master class

of legendary renata Scotto. In

2015 he successfully played

Don Jose on the stage of the

Bolshoi Theater.

The creation of the libretto was the work of four

authors. The first was edouard Mariette, a French

historian and egyptologist, who prepared the

scenario basing it on a legend, decoded from a

papyrus. The second, Camille du Locle, wrote

the operatic text in prose. The third, Antonio

Ghislanzoni – journalist, poet and singer – wrote

the Italian libretto in verses. The fourth was Verdi

himself. Since 1871, when it was performed in

egypt, it has been one of the most performed titles

by the Italian maestro.

The part of Aida is played by Serbian soprano

Dragana radakovic. She got a master’s degree from

the Music academy in Belgrade: Vocal Arts in the

class of Prof. radmila Bakocevic and Conducting

in the class of Prof. Stanko Sepic. She specialized

in master classes given by renata Scotto, Mirella

Freni, Magda Olivero and Bruna Baglioni. During the

last few years she has had successful participations

at the Belgrade Opera, in Slovenia – Maribor

and at the International Festival in Ljubliana, at

the Summer Music Festival in Oderzo, Italy, at

the romanian opera theaters in Timisoara, Cluj-

Napoca, Constanta and Sibiu, Munich, Dortmund,

Wolfsburg, Saarbrucken and Frankfurt. In 2013 she

took part with the Zurich Philharmonic Orchestra

in a concert dedicated to the 200th anniversary

of Verdi’s birth. In 2014 she guest-performed at
