Bulgarian basso Martin Tzonev had a warm welcome on the local stage. He was invited to perform in Bulgaria long after his debut on the international stage. He has been singing in the past five seasons in performances of the Sofia National Opera and Ballet. He plays Votan (The Ring of Nibelung Wagner), Alidoro (Cenerentola, Rossini), Bertram (Robert le Diable, Robert the Devil, Musorgskiy). Here is what Martin Tzonev told Radio Bulgaria about his music career:
Martin Tzonev works in Bulgaria and Germany. He is a soloist at the Opera Theatre in Bonn, but also tours on a series of stages in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands. He lives in Bonn which reminds him about his native city of Ruse. Bonn is also situated on a river bank and bears aristocratic music spirit. It is the native city of Beethoven, Martin Tzonev went on to say.
In 2010 Martin made his debut on the stage of the Sofia Opera House. Director Plamen Kartalov offered him to take the role of Votan at The Ring of Nibelung by Richard Wagner. It was a great heroism to present successfully the whole tetralogy in Bulgaria, Martin Tzonev says. It is a great risk and big responsibility to present this opera on stage, so that none of the following: the composers, the directors, the conductors and the audience are left disappointed. Here is what Martin Tzonev told Radio Bulgaria about the forthcoming tour at the Sofia Opera House in September.
“Maestro Kartalov was dreaming to send us to Germany to perform the most difficult German opera - The Ring of the Nibelung, where we are rather singing actors. That is why it is very important to perform sincerely every word, detail and color. Opera is a live art. Fortunately there are enough Bulgarian singers who can carry out a good performance. As a matter of fact, we have been trying to be perfect throughout our whole career. I hope that we will stay healthy and fit.”
Martin Tzonev will again play Boris Godunov before he departs to Germany for his tour. The opera play will be performed at Tsarevets Fortress in Veliko Tarnovo on July 31 and August 1 after the spectacular show in front of Saint Alexander Nevski Cathedral in Sofia.
