Magnificent artists will be reincarnated in fresh roles in one of the funniest productions of the Burgas Opera – with an intelligent sense of humor, personal charm and gushing energy.
More than three years after the brilliant premiere /on October 8, 2021/, the new staged reading of Rossini’s masterpiece “The Barber of Seville” directed by Assoc. Dr. Alexander Tekelievskilfully combined with the original scenographic and costuming solutions of Denis Ivanov, continues to be a hit – with eternally relevant themes, dizzying directorial techniques, avant-garde look, whirlwind artistic presence, a pinch of eroticism and guaranteed smiles.
The updated version of the opera continues to prove that the challenge of the new approach is accepted with understanding and is a sure way to get out of the comfort zone – to broaden horizons and enrich perceptions.
For the tenth time, the new interpretation of Rossini’s masterpiece will be presented – as a fury of comic situations, fresh teasing, sincere laughter and references to modern reality, on the Burgas stage.
With each performance, the staging is enriched, the artists add new psychological nuances to the images. One thing is constant – everyone plays with visible pleasure and has fun with the catchy plot with elements of social satire.
The artists manage to build a complete theatrical image of the performance, adding to the brilliant vocal performance a sense of all the ideas put into the staging decisions of Prof. Tekeliev. “The Barber of Seville” on the stage of Burgas is not only an opera – in its classical form – although nothing from Rossini’s musical score has been changed, the result is a wonderfully complex spectacle, carrying not only boisterous laughter, but also a number of messages in the modern life context.
Under the whirlwind baton of the great Bulgarian conductor with an impressive international career Ivan Kozhuharovbrilliant artists come out on November 15.
The baritone Andrey Yurkovsky, recently a soloist of the Burgas Opera, made a brilliant debut in the role of Figaro during the June 14 performance at the Opera House, re-entering the fun role of the famous barber, but in the style of Elvis Presley and the rock era of the 70s, and on the next performance – on June 18. M
the ezzo-soprano Maria Yurkovskayawho also made a remarkable debut in the role of Rozina – at the show on June 14, will enter the image of the flirtatious coquette for the second time. The two soloists, who are partners not only on stage, but also in life, recreate the comic characters with mastery, dedication and genuine charisma.
Nikolay Motsov /gost/, Lyric-spintov tenor, professor at the National Academy of Music “Prof. Pancho Vladigerov” – Sofia, will again be in the role of Count Almaviva /in the new production – Sheikh Almaviva/, after a wonderful stage performance at the premiere performance and several subsequent performances on the Burgas stage.
His stage presentation is colorful, emotionally impactful and with each passing performance – enriched with new artistic nuances.
The tenor expands the parameters of the complex humorous image with inventions that fit into the overall concept of the production and are warmly welcomed by the audience hungry for funny originality.
The bass Kostadin Mechkov will be, as always, super fun as the old pesky Doctor Bartolo who tries unsuccessfully for the attention of the beautiful Rosina. Mechkov builds the role with a gushing sense of humor, a sense for the specificity of the image and vocal prowess.
Excellent preparation, authentic presence, brilliant artistic solutions and stage charisma will be presented by the bass Diman Panchev in the role of one of the most famous intriguers in the opera world – Don Basilio. The famous Aria of slander is his trademark – as an emanation of insidious deeds leading to disastrous results.
Diman Panchev is the winner of the Mayor’s Award – Mr. Dimitar Nikolov award on the occasion of May 24 – Day of the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius, the Bulgarian alphabet, education and culture and Slavic literature, for 2022 – precisely for the wonderful interpretation of the role of Don Basilio.
The soprano Nona Krastnikova will once again cause uproarious laughter with her lovable, daring, provocative heroine Bertha, who does not hide her affinity for men, wine and … more and builds the image with enough self-irony. The baritone will also be a fresh, artistic whirlwind of emotions Jordan Hristozov – in the roles of Fiorello, close to Count Almaviva, and the Officer, who brings order to the artistic chaos that has occurred in the storyline.
The wonderful artists from the choir of the Burgas Opera, with a conductor, also fit into the general uplifted mood Alexander Chepanov. Choristers who have individual intriguing acting tasks, filled with a great sense of humor and dynamism.
