The director of the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra, Nayden Todorov, will conduct an opera gala in Prague tonight featuring renowned Romanian soloists. Soprano Angela Gheorghiu and tenor Teodor Ilincăi will perform arias and duets by Handel, Puccini, Dvořák, Nino Rota, Francesco Cilea and others, accompanied by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra.


Nayden Todorov, who has previously shared the stage with Angela Gheorghiu, was invited to conduct at her express request, the Sofia Philharmonic reported. The two have already performed together in 2019 in Sofia, in Hall 1 of the National Palace of Culture.
