About the festival

Where the opera meets the mountain

Bansko Opera Fest is a unique cultural phenomenon — opera performances on an open-air stage in the heart of the medieval quarter of Bansko, surrounded by centuries-old stone buildings and the silhouette of Pirin Mountain.

Every summer, opera stars from Bulgaria and the world turn evenings in Bansko into unforgettable experiences. The open-air acoustics and the lights of historic lanterns create an atmosphere that concert halls cannot offer.

7 live evenings
30+ performers
4 opera titles
