National Opera and Ballet, Theatre company in Sofia, Bulgaria
The National Opera and Ballet presents classical opera performances and ballet productions in a building designed in 1921 near central Sofia.
Founded in 1908 as the Bulgarian Opera Society, the institution performed its first complete opera, Pagliacci by Leoncavallo, in 1909.
The theater maintains a repertoire of international opera classics while encouraging Bulgarian composers to create new works for their stage.
Performances occur throughout the year, with tickets available through the box office or online booking system at various price points.
The venue houses both a main performance hall for large productions and a chamber hall that specializes in premieres and experimental works.
