The bouquet of the famous Romanian Operettas flourishes in the interpretation of the soloists of the National Theatre of Operetta and Musical “Ion Dacian” accompanied by orchestral, chorus and ballet ensembles under the guidance of the conductor Lucian Vladescu.

Such a royal musical has never been more appropriate. We thus celebrate the Centenary Year through authentic Romanian music. Tradition, culture and folklore are intertwined in Operettas Romanian composers and are passed on, to the audience, with talent and dedication, by the Bucharest Operetta team.

“The National Theatre of Operetta and Musical “Ion Dacian” aims in this show to capitalize on Romanian music cults of folk inspiration to satisfy the public’s need for beauty, returning to the authentic and stopping the phenomenon of kitsch and non-value. In the context in which it has always, but especially in recent decades, put more and more price on the national specificity and on a strong individuality in art, I consider that the Operetta – between the other musical genres – contributed to a great extent to the creation of the Romanian national element.
From this point of view, the middle of the twentieth century is practically the beginning of a new era for Romanian Operetta music, marking the period when the most valuable works were created, in which folklore played a major role. The way Operetta composers used it did the difference in value of the creations and established their hierarchy.
In the training and educational process of young people (of tomorrow’s adult audience) it is required, more than at any time, preserving and returning to the true values of this nation because today it is necessary to insist on authenticity, value, knowledge, restoration. It is like painting in old churches about to deteriorate. The painting needs to be restored and preserved”.
