The dramatic plot of one of the world’s most popular operas always sounds relevant. Regardless of the era in which they live, people invariably carry identical feelings, aspirations, and their relationships are based on universal human norms that are not subject to time.
The opera has become iconic – not only because of Georges Bizet’s beautiful music, characterized by an exquisite melodic line, as well as musical motifs that have gained popularity in their own right, but also because of the story, which continues to excite and evoke diverse feelings.
On August 24, the famous mezzo-soprano Daniela Dyakova will be in a stage partnership with the tenor Daniel Damyanov, soloist of the Sofia Opera and Ballet and State Opera – Burgas, who will take on the role of Don Jose – torn by internal contradictions, wandering between the sweeping passion for Carmen and the dictates of tradition. Daniela Dyakovaon whose temperament the role of Carmen impresses magnificently, will be once again sweeping the open stage in Begliktash – a real fury, an amalgam of passion and an irresistible urge for inner freedom, which for her is above love, affection, even the instinct for life.
The talented charismatic baritone Valery Turmanov will be the matador Escamilio, who wins Carmen’s feelings and pushes Don José to a black jealousy with a tragic outcome.
The enchanting soprano Maria Tsvetkova-Madjarova will be reincarnated again in the image of the gentle and devoted girl Mikaela – she also created a memorable image during last year’s performance of “Carmen” within the framework of the Festival “Opera de sanctuari”.

The performances – among the natural decor of the megalithic sanctuary, on a stage specially built next to the stone complex, as well as on the stone blocks themselves, pass as if under the patronage of the ancient Thracians, who lived and performed their mystical rituals on these lands, which are symbolic of the entire huge team, realizing the ambitious undertaking.
