The stage of the Summer Theatre in Burgas will once again become a magnet for art lovers, welcoming Mario Nikolov – the acclaimed Bulgarian tenor, director, and television host. He will join the performers in the "Love Magic" concert, which is scheduled to take place on September 2 at 8:00 PM.

Mario Nikolov is an artist with an expansive career, having won the hearts of generations of viewers both through his stage performances and his directorial work on numerous successful musical theatre productions. He is the recipient of many prestigious awards, both in Bulgaria and abroad. The general public also knows him as the creator and host of the jazz and classical music program "Eternal Music" on BNT1. For him, Burgas is not just a place for professional engagements, but a city to which he is connected by a long creative history and a deep emotional bond.

For over ten years, at the invitation of the State Opera Burgas management, he has staged large-scale operettas and musicals that traditionally mark the finale of the International Music Festival named after the legendary conductor Emil Chakarov. Nikolov not only directs these productions but also invariably performs as a soloist in the lead tenor roles, turning every show into one of the most anticipated events in the city's cultural calendar. Among the landmark titles realized under his direction are:

  • "Bulgarians of Old Times"
  • "Die Fledermaus"
  • "The Csardas Princess"
  • "The Gypsy Baron"
  • "Countess Mariza"
  • "A Night in Venice"
  • "Vienna Blood"
  • "Ball at the Savoy"
  • The concert spectacle "Love, Champagne, and Can-Can"

These productions not only won the admiration of the audience but also established themselves as key elements in the musical life of Burgas. In recognition of his exceptional contribution to the development of musical and performing arts in our country, Mario Nikolov was honored with the prestigious "Emil Chakarov" award in 2023.

In the upcoming "Love Magic" concert, Nikolov will partner with Hristiyana Loizu, Simona Kodeva, Evgeniya Ralcheva, Andrey Mirchev, and Stefan Ilchev. The event is organized at the invitation of Maestro Petar Dimitrov and Sinfonietta Vidin. The concert itself promises to be one of the brightest evenings of the summer of 2026, combining unforgettable melodies with artistic presence and emotion. For the Burgas audience, this event is an opportunity to once again meet an artist who has become an inseparable part of the city's musical history. Tickets for "Love Magic" are now available at the "Clock" box office, as well as on all online sales platforms.
