Two Christmas concerts will be held back to back at Burgas Opera on Monday, 14 December. The first starts at 5pm and the second at 8pm.

Both honour Vanya Kostova, Plamen Stavrev and Georgi Naydenov-Gogo, and will feature their songs.

The line-up includes Tonika SV and Eva Naydenova, 5 Seasons, VA Fortissimo, Boyan Mihaylov, Dani Ognyanov, Mariyana Dobreva, Teodora Ilieva, the duo Disho and Ivan, and Peni Stavreva. The dance school Dune and the vocal group Izgrevcheta will perform with the soloists. Mina Ilieva hosts the concerts, and Georgi Miltiyadov conducts the orchestra.

"Christmas is a time for love!" Stefan Diomov writes in his address to the audience.

He says Christmas is a time for memories, for meeting loved ones, for hugs and love. Before the holiday, he says, it is a chance to remember "our star friends" and sing their songs together. Diomov says the concerts are meant to give the audience a feeling that keeps them warm up to the holiday and after it.
