Opera Trip about Moldova

About Tour

The International Festival "Maria Bieșu invites" was inaugurated for the first time in the autumn of 1990 by the primadona of the National Opera, Maria Bieșu. She proposed that every autumn, Chisinau would become a center of opera music. 

Today the festival has become one of the main symbols of culture in the Republic of Moldova. The festival is a celebration of classical culture, music and ballet. It is significant that this great holiday appeared during the National Renaissance, the festival preceded the sovereignty and independence of the Republic of Moldova. 

Artists from different countries of the world participate at the festival "Maria Bieșu invites", presenting opera and ballet shows.

Each year the International Opera Festival gathers opera and ballet stars in Chisinau for 1 week in early autumn to entertain the audience with their performance of classical pieces.

Dear Razvan, 

Thank you so much for this fantastic educational trip. Your organisation was perfect, your company / guidance most appreciated. 

And i can say that this trip immediately comes in my top 5 trips ever in my 27 year career. Thanks a lot: fantastic discoveries, fantastic explanations, very good and nice hotels, excellent food everywhere, and so on...

Also specal thanks to Natasha. With her enthusiasm she made us discover Moldova and Transnistria in a fantastic way.

Victoria, Just a short note to say thank you very much for everything on Sunday. Despite the long and tiring journey caused by the road closure in Ukraine, we thoroughly enjoyed our day, and learned so much about Moldova, Transnistria and Ukraine. We particularly enjoyed discovering Tiraspol, as it's such an unusual place and gave us a glimpse of how life was under the former Soviet regime. Because British history is relatively simple, with few invasions and no changes of borders, we struggle to understand the complexities of European history. 

We were very impressed with your understanding - and with your excellent English language skills in explaining it all to us. It certainly brought to life our visit to your country. I hope your journey back home was a little easier than the one to Odessa. Please give our thanks to our driver on the day - I'm afraid we do not recall his name but we appreciated all he did to negotiate the way through the border crossings for us and to get us to Odessa as quickly as he did despite the obstacles. Good luck for future success in your career. If you are ever in England and are able to visit our area, do not hesitate to give us a call. We could show you the historic city of Winchester and the busy port and waterside areas of Portsmouth, which I'm sure you would find interesting. Thanks again for everything.
