Ruse Opera House
Русенска опера
One of Bulgaria's leading opera houses. Its March Music Festival, held every year in March, is the country's oldest classical music festival.
The Ruse National Opera was founded in 1949 and is one of Bulgaria's longest-established opera companies, performing classic works by Italian, Russian and Bulgarian composers. The March Music Festival, held each March since 1961, is Bulgaria's oldest international classical music festival and draws orchestras from across Europe. The theater is in the city center, about a 5-minute walk from Freedom Square. Tickets are relatively affordable compared with Western Europe and can be bought on the official website or at the box office. The theater is generally not open for visits when there are no performances.
