ETAR Regional Open-Air Ethnographic Museum, Gabrovo
From the creators of the "Bulgare" National Folklore Ensemble and the Festival of the Folkloric Costume in Zheravna, comes the newest folklore attraction in Bulgaria – A NIGHT IN THE PAST, a mega production by the "Bulgare" Ensemble in partnership with the ETAR Open-Air Ethnographic Museum, Gabrovo.
The Revival-era town will transform into the world’s largest stage, featuring hundreds of dancers, actors, musicians, and singers in an interactive performance directed by choreographer Hristo Iv. Dimitrov (founder of the "Bulgare" Ensemble).
Every corner of the museum will come to life through performances by some of Bulgaria’s most distinguished folklore artists, transporting visitors to the spirit of the National Revival.
According to Hristo Iv. Dimitrov:
“No one has ever seen anything like this.”
Dates:
July 4 & 5, 2025
Duration: 6 hours (7:00 PM – 1:00 AM)
Note: The program will be the same on both evenings.
Performers include:
"Bulgare" National Folklore Ensemble
Nikolina Chakardakova and the Nevrokop Dance Ensemble
Orchestra of the Professional Folklore Ensemble "Strandzha", Burgas
Albena Veskova – soloist of NFA "Bulgare"
Thracian singer Nikolay Gurbanov
