Rumyana Valentinova (Stancheva) Marton is a leading composer in the Bulgarian musical space, and in particular in theatrical music. Her work is always distinguished by innovation, harmony, melodiousness and bold experiments in every musical form.
The composer was the first to introduce polystylism into the modern Bulgarian school as a basic principle in her creative expression, according to the opinions of Prof. Ivan Hlebarov and Prof. Konstantin Karapetrov. She also created Opera mono performances for the first time in Bulgaria (“Mini Rock Opera”, “Iliad”, “Medea”, “Medea’s Dreams”).
