11 july 2024 "Tosca" With A World Conductor, Soloists, Orchestr, And Choir
After the performance of TOSCA / TOSCA, the words, no matter how strong, pale in front of the emotion experienced.
Enjoy the shots that captured the charge of the tragic story told on the stage of the Burgas Summer Theater - Official page tonight.
It was a show to remember.
The soloists - world-class, the orchestra - under the baton of the inimitable Ivan Kozhuharov, the choir with conductor Alexander Chepanov, and the young singers from the Children's Choir "Milka Stoeva" were exceptional.
Ioana Zhelezcheva proved her class - an unmistakably constructed image of Floria Toska - with astonishing nuances of voice and stage charisma.
Daniel Damianov was merged with his character of Mario Cavaradossi, with a strong presence and a beautiful affecting timbre.
Marjan Jovanoski was a rocking Scarpia - a real emotional whirlwind, combining selfishness, cruelty, and egocentrism, brilliantly supported vocally.
Admirations also for the rest of the magnificent artists from the first-class soloist composition: Diman Panchev, Kostadin Mechkov, Yani Nikolov, Petar Tiholov, Ivan Grozev, Stefka Hristizova - tonight all the performers were touched by the invisible and inexplicable power of Duende...
Art, in its classical form, is alive. The full Summer Theater proved it tonight.
At the end of the second event of the Burgas Music Festival "Emil Chakarov", flowers were presented on behalf of the Mayor of the Municipality of Burgas - Mr. Dimitar Nikolov, and on behalf of the State Opera - Burgas for the wonderful soloists who created a cultural celebration that evening.
