Quick Facts Genre, Location(s) ...

The festival program included a Bulgarian song competition, an international vocal competition and concerts outside the festival's competitive program. The event quickly grew into one of the most prestigious festivals in Eastern Europe during socialism. Among the winners of the vocal competition are Alla Pugacheva and Etta Scollo. Over the years, the festival has featured international pop stars such as Tina Turner and Julio Iglesias as guests. The event has been broadcast by the International Radio and Television Organisation on the Intervision network since 1967 with a viewership of nearly 200 million viewers.[2]

Since the 2010s, instead of the Golden Orpheus, the Discovery pop music festival has been organized in Varna, where performers from around the world perform, including In-Grid and Il Volo.[3][4][5]
