The large-scale musical forum of the municipality of Veliko Tarnovo - the 9th summer opera season "Stage of the Ages" 2024 - will be closed tonight. The last two months offered the residents and visitors of the old capital concerts, opera, operetta and ballet performances from the country and abroad. 

For the finale of the main festival program, the organizers have selected the newest musical of the National Music Theater "Stefan Makedonski" - "Hello, how are you, my friend" to the music of the composer Stefan Diomov.


We offer you today the song of Familia Tonika of the same name. The song is based on the text of the Burgas-born poet Peyo Panteleev, which, since its creation in the mid-1990s, has become a symbol of friendship and warm meetings of close people after a long separation.
