40 YEARS SINCE THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE HOLY BROTHERS CYRIL AND METHODIUS AS CO-PATRONS OF EUROPE BY POPE JOHN PAUL II

The libretto of the opera-oratorio “Cyril and Methodius” is based on poetic texts from “Sacred Legends” by Venko Markovski.

Our first opera theatre gives an important sign for the role of the apostolic mission of the Holy Brothers for Bulgaria, for the rest of the Slavic world and the culture of Europe.

The presentation of this significant work is in honour of 40 years since the proclamation of the Holy Brothers Cyril and Methodius as co-patrons of Europe by Pope John Paul II.

Pope John Paul II awarded the Jivka Klinkova’s work with a special diploma.
