It is interesting that Ioana Vlaguli from Greece was a member of the Ballet Company of the State Opera-Stara Zagora a few years ago. In the Ballet Gala in April 2017, Ioana Vlaguli participated with her own composition and original choreography, together with artists from the ballet company of the State Opera-Stara Zagora. The beautiful ballerina presented for the first time to the Stara Zagora audience her multifaceted talent - as a composer, pianist, choreographer and dancer. On the piano she was accompanied by the conductor-pianist Dimitar Kosev. In the same year 2017, Ioana was the choreographer of the musical "Sissy-The Empress's Soul". Ioana returned to her homeland and graduated in opera conducting there. We are happy to welcome her back to her new professional path!
