What’s the best professional break an aspiring young artist can hope for? Coming across an exceptional teacher who opens a whole new world of possibilities! For years the America for Bulgaria Foundation supported the tireless efforts of the great Bul- garian opera prima Raina Kabaivanska and New Bulgarian University to prepare young artists for the world’s leading opera stages. For the past quarter century, Maestra Kabaivanska’s prestigious international master class has brought together promising singing talent from all over the world. Many Bulgarian and foreign performers have seen their abilities unfold through the prima’s experienced nurturing. Several of the world’s opera heavyweights today got their first break in Sofia. Maestra Kabaivanska continues to share her experience generously with aspiring singers and has done more than anyone else to place Bulgaria on the world opera map.
