NTB - Host Theatre

Event presented in partnership with the National Theater in Bucharest The concept of the concert aims to bring to the fore the music that is part of our DNA and that envelops the collective consciousness of Romanians. It is the music we were born with and from which we began to build our values. In this project, I want to invite artists who have created around Romanian identity, regardless of the musical fusions they have adopted in their careers. A show about roots, freedom, and the magic of sound. “Return to the Roots” it is not just a concert, but a sensory experience about rediscovery. The dialogue between Marius Mihalache's cimbalom and Adrian Naidin's cello promises to break down the barriers between musical genres, taking the audience from the emotion of authentic folklore to the freedom of jazz and the power of classical music. Given the exclusive nature of the event, the organizers recommend purchasing tickets in advance. Children under 6 accompanied by their parents have free access if they occupy the same seat as their parent. Not recommended for children under 5 years of age. The use of protective headphones for children is recommended.   Translated by Andreea Codrea-Boeriu

Caragiale National Theater in Bucharest on February 2, 2026, at 8:00 p.m., with a new concept show: Unfrozen Dreams. A performance about dreams that do not die, but hibernate until their spring comes. About fragility, patience, and the courage to hope. About dreams that, once touched by light, begin to melt from within. Unfrozen Dreams is an artistic experience in which music, stories, and emotion come together in a production designed especially for the Studio Hall of the National Theater in Bucharest.

Independent show hosted by the National Theatre of Bucharest. The organiser is exclusively liable for the quality and content of this event! Christmas would not be the same without the voice that, for over three decades, has become the soul of Romanian carols—Stefan Hrusca. This year, the artist returns to the stage with a recital of carols meant to bring us closer to the essence of the holiday and the unaltered beauty of traditions. For Hrusca, each carol is more than a song: it is a sung prayer, a window open to the peace and faith of our ancestors. In his voice, we find the emotion of childhood, the joy of reuniting with loved ones, and the light that transforms the holiday into a true mystery. This year's recital program features a selection of carols with an archaic flavor, as well as beloved songs that have become a staple in Romanian homes around Christmas. With each note, the artist manages to create that unique atmosphere in which time seems to stand still and hearts open to kindness and communion. Stefan Hrusca's warm and powerful voice remains the bridge that connects generations and places, carrying on the tradition of Christmas carols as a gift and a blessing. Whether you are at home or far away, his concert becomes an opportunity to feel that the light of Christmas shines just as brightly in every soul. We look forward to seeing you again this year to let yourself be carried away by the magic of carols and experience, together with Stefan Hrusca, the joy of an authentic Christmas.
