Opera basso Slavin Peev will mark two decades on stage with famed arias from opera classics at the chamber Bulgaria hall in Sofia on 5 October. He will be joined by pianist and composer Blagovesta Konstantinova.
The concert will feature some of the most celebrated basso opera arias performed by Slavin Peev during the past 20 years, among them the slander aria from The Barber of Seville by Gioachino Rossini, aria of Fiesco from Verdi’s Simon Boccanegra etc. Slavin Peev has dedicated a special segment of the concert to basso of world renown Boris Christoff whose 110th birth anniversary we are marking this year. Slavin Peev says an important landmark in his education was the master class he was part of in Rome, held at Boris Christoff’s home in the Italian capital – Peev attended it on a Boris Christoff Foundation scholarship, founded to keep the legacy of Boris Christoff and to help talented artists on their way to the opera stages of the world.
