Zorro – a musical with Vladimir Zombori
State Opera-Ruse and Zorro USA LLC present
The musical „Zorro“, inspired by the legendary hero, with the unforgettable music of Gipsy Kings and John Cameron. A production that will immerse you in a world where love, freedom and courage intertwine as one.
In the Bulgarian version of the musical, the role of the charismatic Zorro is taken on by Vladimir Zombori, who makes his debut in this genre. The young Diego de la Vega takes his fate into his own hands and becomes a legend. From the romantic silhouette with a black mask to the mark he leaves with his sword, he is a symbol of justice, of rebellion against evil and of the protection of the wronged. The enigmatic hero with the black mask defends the innocent and faces adversity with the dance of the sword and the rhythm of flamenco.
In the show you will hear some of the most famous songs by Gipsy Kings, such as „Bamboleo“, „Baila Me“ and „Djobi, djoba“, woven into Zorro’s story.
The director of the production is Ivaylo Nenov, and the conductor-producer – Dimitar Kosev. The sets and costumes are by Petya Boyukova, the choreography – by Natalia Osipova, and the translation – by Vanya Georgieva. Featuring soloists, choir, ballet and orchestra of the State Opera – Ruse with conductor Stelyana Dimitrova-Hernani.
More than 200 years ago, on the shores of California, the legend of Zorro was born. Since then, the hero has come to life in dozens of books, films and stage adaptations – each of which adds a new stroke to his myth. Legendary actors such as Douglas Fairbanks, Alain Delon and Antonio Banderas have taken on the role with style and charisma, proving that Zorro does not grow old – he is reborn. With every generation he returns – stronger, faster, more inspiring. Because the world always needs its hero.
„Zorro“ is not just a musical – it is a fiery adventure that will make you believe that heroes exist... And that justice always finds its way.
The world premiere of the production was in 2008 in London, after which it was performed in Paris, Tel Aviv, Moscow, Rio de Janeiro, Amsterdam, etc. In 2009, the musical received five nominations for the „Laurence Olivier“ award, including for best show and best choreography.
