Built in 1909, the interior of the opera, even though it cannot match Vienna or Prague, still evokes the glamour of that era. Seating 1200, the repertoire is a mix of internationally recognised operas and
ballets, usually sung in Bulgarian or original language.Ticket prices are affordable, so well worth giving it a try.
During the summer months are there several outdoor festivals like on the lake in Pancharevo or against the magnificent backdrop of the Belogradchik Rocks, north of Bulgaria.
