"Nostradamus" by Lyudmila Boyadzhieva is a libretto for a musical performance. French kings and queens sing in it, and every now and then the Black Man appears - either Satan or a secret agent of the Inquisition. And the soothsayer Michel de Notredame, who still excites the imagination of the public, appears not only as the author of the famous “Centuries”, but also as a tender lover. The author combines facts from the biography of the soothsayer with eternal plots of the struggle between feeling and self-interest.
