Independent show hosted by the National Theatre of Bucharest. The organiser is exclusively liable for the quality and content of this event! And there will be another story, which will begin with the same as it once was... For another year has snowed upon me, upon you, upon our dreams and our lives, and evenings among friends, like beautiful stories, are hard to forget and are deeply carried in the soul. For those who didn't find out and didn't get tickets this year, for those who would like to see the performance one more time, for those who love me and have loved me for 50 years, and finally for those who are curious by nature, I thought I would meet you in 2024 even healthier and more cheerful, to chat, to step, once again, into the world of stories and the magic of the stage. Hugs and kisses to you, Saint Nicholas! Translated by Andreea Codrea-Boeriu 

Independent show hosted by the National Theatre of Bucharest. The organiser is exclusively liable for the quality and content of this event! A brand new Christmas, a new magical story brought by the unmistakable voice of Stefan Hrusca. As every year, the artist who has become the symbol of Romanian carols invites us to meet again under the warm light of his songs, in a soulful tour that continues a tradition that has been unbroken for more than three decades. For Hrusca, each carol is a testimony to our spiritual roots, a link between past and present that unites us through faith and love of our nation. Each of his performances becomes a moment of introspection and rediscovery, an oasis of tranquility in the midst of modern bustle. This year, Hrusca surprises us with a special selection of carols, some well known and loved by everyone, others less heard, but just as full of meaning and charm. His deep and vibrant voice, along with the harmonies of traditional carols, bring back to our hearts that pure atmosphere of the holidays of yesteryear. With each concert, Stefan Hrusca reminds us that, beyond gifts and pomp, Christmas is about warmth in our hearts, about family and faith, and above all about communion with our loved ones, regardless of the distances that separate us. Over the years, his carols have become a true ritual of the winter holidays, without which many Romanians would not be able to fully feel the Christmas spirit. With each performance, Hrusca renews our hope, brings us together and makes us feel that, wherever we are, Christmas is in the heart of each one of us. We invite you again this year to experience the magic of Christmas carols with Stefan Hrusca, to let yourself be carried away by the story of his songs and enjoy the unaltered beauty of our ancestral traditions!

The presence of Bogdan Costache in the program of this year's Viennese Regale is due to you, the audience, who, after the performance of "Three Italian Tenors", were impressed by his performance and wished to see him again as soon as possible. The performance will be an interactive one, conducted "with the violin in the hand" after the model of Johann Strauss or, more recently, Andrè Rieu. The performance will be accompanied by the VOX Opera choir and ballet. The orchestra is joined by the VOX Opera Ballet Ensemble, with the long-awaited moments of waltzes, polkas, can-can, in an effervescent and exciting choreography, so that you will be invited to dance by our orchestras and our ballet dancers themselves, with the famous "Alles Walzer!" Beautiful Carols and Christmas songs will also shine through the voices of the VOX Opera Chorus. The Viennese atmosphere and spirit will captivate you from the moment you enter the concert hall and will remain in your heart as a vivid memory for Christmas and New Year to come. If you can't make it to the Christmas and New Year concerts in Vienna, we bring the Viennese spirit to your city with the most beautiful Viennese musical masterpieces of the Strauss dynasty, Franz Lehar, Emerich Kalman and many, many other musical and choreographic surprises. Invited soloists from Austria, Italy and Switzerland will be previewed in the coming weeks, so the surprises are sure to keep on coming! Translated by Andreea Codrea-Boeriu
