The Plovdiv Opera House is located in an otherworldy forest on an island in the Maritsa river.
The building has to blend in, rather than overcome its surroundings, and use the forest as a natural ‘filter’ for the minds of opera-goers.
The forest is infiltrated and activated by the wandering columns that in places carry additional functions and blur the boundaries of the opera house, leading towards it. Critic: Blagovest Valkov
