Those who have experienced the singular artist Ivo Dimchev on stage before know the provoking intensity that he expects his audience, but above all himself and his own body, to endure. Both in his internationally acclaimed performances and in his concerts, his utterly unrestrained, dazzling fragile falsetto permeates everything and everyone. Now, Ivo Dimchev has dedicated an entire piece – Operville, an improvised opera – to the potent power of the voice. Together with the two young singers Plamena Girginova and Nikolay Voynov and musician Stefan Hristov, he delves deeply and without restraint into an arsenal of operatic materials, traditional poses, gestures and temperaments, to blend voice and the singing body into a perfect “borderline event”.
