The symbolic hosts of the concert will be the basses of the Burgas Opera: Delyan Slavov, Diman Panchev, and Kostadin Mechkov - soloists of the State Opera - Burgas, each of them winners of prestigious awards and with appearances on the international stage. Kostadin Mechkov was also the initiator of the "Together for Ivan" charity concert, the last event of the summer program of the Burgas Opera, with the collected funds being provided for the treatment of 36-year-old Ivan Mandajiev from Burgas.

The program of the vocal concert includes famous and beloved arias and duets from world opera literature. The beautiful musical motifs from famous works by Rossini, Bellini, Mozart, Verdi, Gounod, Bizet, etc. will be presented with the emotional charge characteristic of the bass timbre.

The three basses are long-time soloists of the Burgas Opera and have in their repertoire central parts in most of the most popular opera titles, as well as a number of appearances in chamber concerts. The three singers will take part in the large-scale production "Don Juan", directed by Associate Professor Dr. Alexander Tekeliev, which has been performed for 20 years with unceasing interest from the audience. The performance is on November 17 at 7 p.m. on the stage of the Opera House. Delyan Slavov, who is also the artistic secretary of the Opera, takes on the role of the emblematic seducer Don Juan, Kostadin Mechkov will be reincarnated in the image of Leporello - Don Juan's faithful servant and Diman Panchev will play the iconic role of the Commander who administers justice.
