Legendary singer Lili Ivanova with breathtaking concert in L'Olympia in Paris

After 17 years, the legend of the Bulgarian stage Lili Ivanova once again performed in the iconic "L'Olympia" hall in Paris. This happened on the evening of May 24 - the Day of the Bulgarian Alphabet, Education and Culture and of Slavic Literature. For nearly two hours, she performed some of her biggest hits and new songs. The audience, which filled the hall to the brim, stood up after each performance, chanting "Lili!". What was new this time was a slightly jazzier sound of the arrangements made by Angel Dyulgerov, BTA reports. Before the concert, Lili Ivanova received many congratulations, including from French legend Mireille Mathieu, who sent her a beautiful bouquet.

“Lili Ivanova is the greatest figure in Bulgarian popular music. For more than 65 years, she has embodied the passion and excellence of an extraordinary artist. A true living legend, she has performed over 10,000 shows and recorded more than 600 songs, releasing over 40 solo albums, most of them certified platinum… Her unique voice – both powerful and sensitive – transcends genres: pop, chanson, and jazz. A symbol of elegance and artistic constancy, Lili Ivanova remains the embodiment of the soul of Bulgarian song,” the site of L'Olympia reads.
