The prestigious musical forum "Opera of the Sanctuary" continues its exciting series with the exceptional performance of Giuseppe Verdi's opera "Il Trovatore", which will take place on August 2nd at the ancient sanctuary of Begliktas near Primorsko.

Leading soloists from national opera stages will present the classical work under the direction of Maestro Ivaylo Krinchev - an established conductor, winner of the "Emil Chakarov" award and a leading figure in the contemporary opera world. Krinchev has already had a successful production of "Il Trovatore" in the same location in 2021.
