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

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
