Figaro comes to the Stara Zagora Opera
On 21 and 22 October, at 19.00 the Stara Zagora Opera will present on its stage the performances of the operas "The Barber of Seville" by Rossini and "The Marriage of Figaro" by Mozart /performance of the Burgas Opera/. In two consecutive evenings the audience will have the opportunity to be entertained and to empathise with the complex and unpredictable relationships between the characters, in which Beaumarchais' favourite Figaro will unravel the love stories full of surprising intrigues and bring the comic situations to a happy ending. Mozart or Rossini? An extraordinary experience with the work of two geniuses who chose the unifying plot of the comedies of the French playwright and comedian Pierre de Beaumarchais for the libretto of their operas. Don't miss this encounter with two of the liveliest, funniest, most appealing operas in all of operatic literature. There are few operas, and even fewer comic operas, that have so many beloved arias, duets and ensembles... Music that turns an evening into a smile! The charming barber Figaro /Ivan Kabamitov in "The Barber of Seville" and Delyan Slavov in "The Marriage of Figaro"/ is the host in the stories of the French playwright Beaumarchais, waiting to make you laugh and help two lovers to be happy with his witty and cunning numbers.
