The Sofia Opera has been invited to open the opera season in Salerno, Italy on April 11 and 13 with a performance of the second part of Richard Wagner's tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung) - Die Walkure (The Valkyrie). This is also the first Wagner opera to be presented on the stage of the theatre, which opened in 1872 with Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto, the Sofia Opera said, reported BTA.

“The production by Plamen Kartaloff, who is already well-known to the audience in Salerno for his productions of Aida and La Bohème, sparked enormous interest, and the tickets for both performances were sold out days before the shows”, the Sofia Opera added.
