The lake mirror at Pancharevo will gather for the third consecutive year emblematic music, ethereal voices and dance magic at the summer festival "Muses of Water" within the 13th edition of the festival "Opera in the Park" under the patronage of the Mayor of Sofia Municipality. The conceptual design of Acad. Plamen Kartaloff will make us empathize with authentic summer experiences with operatic masterpieces and ballet classics from 9 July to 4 September on Lake Pancharevo.
