“Sound and Light” is a unique multi-media attraction that tells the history of medieval Bulgaria with a light show on Tsarevets Fortress.
“Sound and Light” is a unique attraction for Europe, and was quite ahead of its time 30 years ago when it first premiered.
Dramatic music, multicolored lights, lasers and church bells gathered in one, tell the glorious and dramatic history of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom.
The concept for this spectacular, dates all the way back to the early 1960s.
The government of Veliko Tarnovo was looking for unique ways to promote the old capital as a historical, cultural and tourist destination.
The actual name for this audio-visual show is “The Legend of Tarnovo.”
The original concept was to create an elevated viewing area across from Tsarevets, with a full view of the fortress.
To the sides of the scene, would be illuminated wall panels with projections that would tell the story of the dramatic history of Bulgaria from its origin in 681 to the capturing of Tarnovo from the Ottoman Empire in 1393.
The show premiered November 1985, in time for the 800th anniversary of the Uprising of the brothers Asen and Peter, and the beginning of the Assen Dynasty.
The history told through the presentation is synchronized with the dramatic music and light display on the hill.
The current, 21-minute show, includes 2,400 multi-color searchlights, 140 floodlights (toward audience) and 6 massive bells weighing from 600 kg to 6 tons.
The original production of this show launched in 1985 was meant to possibly run for 30 years.
The ‘sound and light’ show is performed year round, regardless of weather conditions.

A final view of the Sphinx and Pyramids at Giza during the Sound and Light show, which we attended on our last night. It was a leeetle bit cheesy...
taken during the Sound & Light show at Parliament Hill. There's some pretty funky clouds/smoke/something moving by the tower.
The Lumen installation in the covered lane by the Assembly Rooms takes the form of three different projections onto the walls that you walk along and just chill out and watch, one flickering colours, one summertime scenes of meadows and flowers and the third one like an aquarium (for those of a certain age that one may remind you of the old After Dark screensaver for PCs and Macs back in the early 90s)
Imagine yourself in a very large room with colorful, changing images flowing around. The music? The Beatles!

Chaudière Falls, Ottawa - Mìwàte sound-and-light show – In the Algonquin language, Mìwàte means 'dazzled by a light or fire. This show is designed as a tribute to Indigenous people and was created in collaboration with the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation (although there is some controversy regarding the use of this sacred site for this purpose). The lights illuminating the falls were accompanied by a 'soundscape' which included drumming, melodic chanting and whispers of Aboriginal youth reciting in Anishinaabe, the language of the Algonquin people.
