Veselina Katsarova and Kaludi Kaludov with master classes in Stara Zagora
Screening of the film "The Human Voice"
Days before the official opening of the 53rd edition of the one-of-a-kind Festival of Opera and Ballet Art in Stara Zagora, Veselina Katsarova and Kaludi Kaludov launch vocal masterclasses. The two famous opera singers will work in parallel with young opera singers from Bulgaria, Poland, Germany, Austria, Romania, Ukraine, Turkey, Georgia, Japan and China. Kaludi Kaludov's masterclass starts on 16 November and Veselina Katsarova's on 20 November. The classes will take place in the hall of the Regional Library "Zahariy Knyazheski"-Stara Zagora. The closing gala of the participants in the two masterclasses is on 29 November at 19.00 on the stage of the Stara Zagora Opera House accompanied by pianists Denitsa Petrova and Miroslav Georgiev. The idea to hold masterclasses together arose spontaneously and the two are looking forward with great enthusiasm to their meeting and their upcoming work with the talented young artists who wished to draw on their experience and accumulated singing wisdom over the years.
On 20 November at 18.00 in the hall of the Regional Library "Zahariy Knyazheski" Veselina Katsarova and Kaludi Kaludov will present their young graduate students, and then the film "The Human Voice" will be screened, based on a script by Miglena Stoycheva, directed by Nikolay Vassilev and cinematographed by Nedyalko Danov. The work is dedicated to the most delicate and perfect musical instrument - the one that man carries inside himself. The story of the voice as a unique gift is told through the lives and memories of the three characters in the film - the folk singer Verka Siderova, the opera prima Darina Takova and the phoniatrist Dr. Dimitar Kehayov.
The audience will have the opportunity to meet the author of the script Miglena Stoycheva and hear curious details of the work on the film - from the idea to the realization. The film will be subtitled in English and has been made available for broadcast within the 53rd edition of the Festival of Opera and Ballet Art by the Bulgarian National Television.
Entrance for the audience is free!
