Mimi Ivanova to celebrate 80th birthday with jubilee concert

Bulgarian singer Mimi Ivanova will celebrate her 80th birthday with a jubilee concert titled ‘When I Was a Girl, Mimi Was 80’ on October 28 at Hall 1 of the National Palace of Culture (NDK). The event marks over six decades of her stage career.

Produced with the assistance of producer Evgeni Boyanov, the concert will feature classic hits re-recorded with updated arrangements. These new recordings, which include tracks with violin accompaniment, will be released as two compact discs and on digital platforms. The program is also expected to include a completely new aria kept secret from the public.

Ivanova will be joined on stage by colleagues and friends performing her repertoire and the music of composer Razvigor Popov. Reflecting on her career, Ivanova attributed her success to a combination of persistence, hard work, and meeting the right people at the right time.
