Whilst visiting family we attended a concert here in December 2017. The ambiance of the place is fantastic and it has been restored to show its splendour and grandeur of the old lady. You must see the ceiling in the chamber next to the entrance to the dress circle. A must place to visit for a winter trip to Varna. Ballet, concerts and opera are on all of the time, when things move out of the summer theatre in the Sea Gardens, which is a must do for a summer visit.

The show is an emblematic attraction for Veliko Tarnovo. Dramatic music, multicolor lights, lasers and chiming bells are synchronized in an unique way to depict the tumultuous history of Bulgaria. Created in 1985 by a Czech-Bulgarian team, the show operates all year round, and can be watched for free on public holidays or may be booked for a fee, by request or according to pre-listed dates.

I was lucky enough to be in Bulgaria when a free light show would take place so I connected it with a visit to Veliko Tarnovo. I saw the city for about 3-4 hours and then went to the fortress square to watch the light show. It began at 19.10 and ended punctually at 19.30. I could easily go back to the bus station (a shot 5 minute taxi ride, walking it would be around 30 minutes) to catch my bus back to Sofia at 20.00. It is impressive and I find it lovely that such cool thing happens in a rather not so big city. I liked especially when rays were coming out of the fortress. The music is a bit creepy but it is cool. I liked the atmosphere, everyone was enjoying, many families with children despite the cold weather. Perhaps next time I get seats for the panoramic terrace. Would like to see some photos from there to see how different the view from the square is.
