Opera Trip about Moldova

About Tour

The International Festival "Maria Bieșu invites" was inaugurated for the first time in the autumn of 1990 by the primadona of the National Opera, Maria Bieșu. She proposed that every autumn, Chisinau would become a center of opera music. 

Today the festival has become one of the main symbols of culture in the Republic of Moldova. The festival is a celebration of classical culture, music and ballet. It is significant that this great holiday appeared during the National Renaissance, the festival preceded the sovereignty and independence of the Republic of Moldova. 

Artists from different countries of the world participate at the festival "Maria Bieșu invites", presenting opera and ballet shows.

Each year the International Opera Festival gathers opera and ballet stars in Chisinau for 1 week in early autumn to entertain the audience with their performance of classical pieces.

Dear Natalia, we want to thank you sincerely for your expert and skillful guiding during our trip to Moldova. Our experience in Dumbraveni – as we told you – will prove unforgettable for us always. You have a wonderful way with people which will take you far.

Victoria, Just a short note to say thank you very much for everything on Sunday. Despite the long and tiring journey caused by the road closure in Ukraine, we thoroughly enjoyed our day, and learned so much about Moldova, Transnistria and Ukraine. We particularly enjoyed discovering Tiraspol, as it's such an unusual place and gave us a glimpse of how life was under the former Soviet regime. Because British history is relatively simple, with few invasions and no changes of borders, we struggle to understand the complexities of European history. 

We were very impressed with your understanding - and with your excellent English language skills in explaining it all to us. It certainly brought to life our visit to your country. I hope your journey back home was a little easier than the one to Odessa. Please give our thanks to our driver on the day - I'm afraid we do not recall his name but we appreciated all he did to negotiate the way through the border crossings for us and to get us to Odessa as quickly as he did despite the obstacles. Good luck for future success in your career. If you are ever in England and are able to visit our area, do not hesitate to give us a call. We could show you the historic city of Winchester and the busy port and waterside areas of Portsmouth, which I'm sure you would find interesting. Thanks again for everything.

Natalia is an excellent guide, full of interesting information about the places we went, recommended a very good hotel, a good van and driver. She is everything else you want/expect from a tour guide, and she was also a hard-working, intelligent and caring member of our team. Without her skills, flexibility and perseverance, our trip would not have been as successful as it was. She really cares about her clients, and has the willingness and ability to make whatever needs to happen, happen. She was great!
