CANTAFABULE
Rock-Symphonic Concert | National Premiere
October 16, 2026 at 7:00 PM
The Hall of the National Theatre of Operetta and Musical "Ion Dacian"
Following the extraordinary success of the first two sold-out performances and your numerous messages, "Cantafabule" returns with an additional performance ❗️🔥
The National Theater of Opera and Musical „Ion Dacian" invites you to an absolute premiere: Cantafabule — Rock-Symphonic Concert, a show that brings the world of electric rock face to face with the splendor of the symphonic orchestra, in a fusion meant to give the album all the grandeur that its music has always carried within it.
Released in 1975, the first double album in Romanian rock history was, from the very beginning an act of courage, an artistic vision without a precedent and a masterpiece that has resisted all hierarchies. Voted the best Romanian rock album of all time, Cantafabule could not be dethroned even after fifty years since its release.
Inspired by a 14th-century medieval Bestiary — a book in which fabulous animals symbolized the powers of good and evil — the album was the first concept album in Romanian music, a work in itself, with a narrative and sonic architecture unified, of remarkable coherence. The lyrics signed by Șerban Foarță and Andrei Ujică transformed medieval themes into vibrant poetry, and the music elevated Romanian rock to the rank of universal art.
Now, this masterpiece returns — in a form that no one has ever seen before.
The musical material of this production is signed by Josef Kappl — the bassist of the legendary Phoenix band lineup and the composer of Nicu Covaci, of the original album.
Conductor: Leonard Boga
