18 august 2020 A Lesson For The Children With The "Four Twins"

The musical comedy for young and old "The Four Twins" by Georgi Kostov entertains the children tonight at the Summer Theater.
The funny plot, in the style of "Bulgarians of old", alternated comic situations with the four twins - the same in appearance, but different in temperament and understanding of life - Belcho, Pastryo, Chernyo, and Zhelcho - played by Branimir Nedkov, who managed to be different and influential in each of the images, radically different in psychology and behavior. In the role of Aunt Gena was Kalina Popova - who builds the image with a sense of the era and a lot of humor. The strict but extremely amusing chorbadzhi Petko was Diman Panchev, inspiring with his behavior respect and holding on to the weight of his father's command, which for his time was a law. The grandmother - a stranger who travels the world and tells fairy tales, was performed by Rositsa Videva. She entered the image of a dignified storyteller who leads the thread of a wonderful tale that ends with a wonderful wedding. And the young ones got married - Bonka / the charming Vesela Apostolova/ and the twin with a good heart and honest thoughts - and you will find out who he is when you watch the show! They love each other, despite the bet that the groom ordered the personal girl to be the one who brought the heaviest gold bracelet from the five-year-old gurbet. Gold, it turns out, is powerless against the power of true feelings. Well, at least that's how it is in fairy tales, which are difficult, but not impossible to recreate in real life ...

The young audience that experienced the show touched the stage magic, in which the artists present an entertaining and instructive story, in which the conclusion is that true feeling are not subject to circumstances, do not fade, on the contrary, intensify over time, and the choice of the heart determined by the "scales", which measures goodness, care, thought and empathy.

Artists from the ballet ensemble of the State Opera - Burgas complemented the patriarchal picture and the fun action of "The Four Twins".

"The Four Twins" was the last performance of the "Children's Summer" program, included in the Burgas Music Festival "Emil Chakarov", realized by the State Opera - Burgas and the Municipality of Burgas.
