The world-renowned opera diva Raina Kabaivanska is the protagonist of a new documentary, La Scuola Kabaivanska ("The School of Kabaivanska"). After the premiere in Sofia on 24 May, the film will now have a screening in Rome, which will be attended by the opera star herself. The event is part of the Festival of Bulgarian Cinema, which is held for the 15th time in the Italian capital on the initiative of the Bulgarian Cultural Institute there.
