Opera and Diplomacy

It is with great confidence that I give this name to the magical concert that will take place this evening on the stage of the Armenian National Opera and Ballet Theatre in Yerevan!

Two national opera theatres of international significance—the Armenian National Opera and Ballet Theatre and the Sofia Opera and Ballet Theatre—came together to celebrate Bulgaria’s Independence Day.

The initiative of His Excellency Nikola Nikolov, Ambassador of Bulgaria to Armenia, sets an inspiring example at the highest level, transforming this event into a vibrant and deeply emotional expression of cultural diplomacy. It opens the path toward a new tradition and new horizons of cooperation between the national opera theatres of Bulgaria and Armenia.

Good luck, and until our next exciting encounters!

H.E. Nikola Nikolov, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Bulgaria to the Republic of Armenia
