It is based on real historical events from the history of Rome in the 1st century BC. Both in Khachaturian\u2019s music and in the choreographic interpretation of Yuri Grigorovich, Spartacus is portrayed as brave and noble, while the idea of freedom defines his life and actions. The cunning and cruel Crassus strives for personal glory and the unlimited power of imperial Rome. The ballet presents the opposing figures of Spartacus and Crassus, embodying the clash of two worlds. Central roles also include Spartacus\u2019s devoted companion Phrygia and the treacherous courtesan Aegina, Crassus\u2019s accomplice.<\/p>\n<p>The spectacle is a joint project of State Opera Varna and the Varna Summer Music Fest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17 july, 21:00, Open Air Theatre Ballet by Aram Khachaturian Choreography Sergey Bobrov Scenography and Costumes Asya Stoimenova Ballet of State Opera Varna The ballet by Aram Khachaturian tells the story of the uprising of gladiators and slaves led by the Thracian&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":12208,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"eventcat":[60],"organizer":[],"event_tags":[80],"location":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/varnasummerfest.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/12210"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/varnasummerfest.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/varnasummerfest.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/varnasummerfest.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/varnasummerfest.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12210"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/varnasummerfest.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/12210\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12222,"href":"https:\/\/varnasummerfest.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/12210\/revisions\/12222"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/varnasummerfest.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/varnasummerfest.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"eventcat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/varnasummerfest.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/eventcat?post=12210"},{"taxonomy":"organizer","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/varnasummerfest.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/organizer?post=12210"},{"taxonomy":"event_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/varnasummerfest.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_tags?post=12210"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/varnasummerfest.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=12210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
