22 july 2025 The Burgas Opera Presented "French Kiss" For the First Time

The concert "French Kiss" was presented with great premiere success during one of the festival days of Balchik Classic Days in Balchik.
?The emotional announcement of the conductor and author of the arrangements, Stratsimir Pavlov about the latest musical project of the Burgas State Opera:
"French Kiss" is a musical story about Paris as a state of mind - at the same time gentle and extravagant, sensual and sentimental. This is a concert for voice, orchestra, and imagination, in which the songs - from Aznavour and Dalida to "Amelie" - become scenes from a great, cinematic love story. The preparation is like sculpting a memory: every tone, every stroke in the orchestration and interpretation strives to capture the elusive — that French light with which the city kisses the heart." /Stratsimir Pavlov/
"Dear friends, my wonderful colleagues from the Burgas State Opera and maestro Stratsimir Pavlov
We will share with you "French Kiss"! A concert-performance, a revelation, a peaceful nothingness at sunset on a boat slowly creeping along the Seine, when memories and plans give way to the peace of the moment..." invites fans of charming French chansons, Nona Krastnikova, soloist of the concert program.
