Theatre performances in Bulgaria

A visit to a theatre performance can be a wonderful way to spend a free evening of your stay in Bulgaria. Most theatres of Sofia stage performances from the beginning of October to the end of June. Outside the theatre season the choice of performances is more limited. The theatre plays vary strongly in style, genre and theme so that everyone can choose a performance that best matches their taste. Along with classical performances you can see their contemporary interpretations, modern Bulgarian drama, comedy and mono performances. Although most of the theatre performances are in Bulgarian, the sophisticated play of Bulgarian actors and the amazing stage effects are enough to make your visit to the theatre a pleasant and exciting experience. The price of theatre tickets in Bulgaria is about 10 BGN.
