Bulgarian opera singers will pay tribute to the great basso Boris Christoff on the 110th anniversary of his birth at the concert "Bulgarian Bassos for Boris Christoff". They will perform his most emblematic roles, recalling his world triumphs with a touch of humour. There will be five concerts - from 11 October to 25 November - in Burgas, Varna, Plovdiv, Ruse and Stara Zagora.
"Bulgarian Bassos for Boris Christoff" is a project of the National Museum "Boris Christoff", based on the idea, script and staging of the director of the Ruse Opera Plamen Beykov. It is a joint project of five opera houses, which nominated their most outstanding basso soloists. Beykov, the last student of the great maestro, describes them as "a colourful mixture of wonderful voices, each with its own unique sound and character".
The artistic performances of the opera singers will alternate with archive recordings from the Golden Fund of the Bulgarian National Radio, in which Boris Christoff talks about the beginning of his career in the Sofia choirs before the war, how he left Bulgaria for Italy, his favourite parts are and what his mission in Bulgaria is.
His words will be illustrated with photographs of him on stage and in life. "These revelations of his will sound like a testimony to all of us, his successors, but also to the very young colleagues," Plamen Beykov tells Radio Bulgaria.
