The Sofia Opera and Ballet is guest performing on the stage Plovdiv’s ancient theatre, with emblematic shows in three different genres. The first of them will be on 6 and 7 August with one of the best-loved musicals in the world - Mamma Mia! (music and lyrics by ABBA’s Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus). The director of the Sofia Opera and Ballet Academician Plamen Kartaloff, who directed the show, promises that both Bulgarian and foreign audiences will be able to feel the difference in the way the show, presenting some of ABBA’s most popular songs, is staged.
Another spectacular show that is new to the Sofia Opera is the ballet “Arabian nights” by Azerbaijani composer Fikret Amirov. The premiere will again be in Plovdiv’s ancient theatre on 16 August. In Plamen Karftaloff’s words, the audience in Plovdiv will be able to see an exotic ballet gem of the Orient that will truly take their breath away.
