Visionary composer Nikolo Kotzev has unveiled two of the most intense and dramatic characters of his upcoming symphonic rock opera: the female villains Reptilah and Gamohra, portrayed by extraordinary voices from the international rock and metal scene, Veronica “The V” Freeman and Ronnie Grace.

The opera, which is more than twenty years in the making, combines real orchestra, choir, Rock band and an exceptional cast of singers to tell a story of condemned love and the eternal struggle between good and evil.

Structured in four acts and spanning over 120 minutes of music across 22 songs, Draconia moves between darkness and hope, romance and destruction, progressive complexity and cinematic orchestration.

The opera already includes Joe Lynn Turner as Wiseman, Dino Jelusick as Freedom, Stefan Nykvist as Mohrdai, Göran Edman as Storyteller and Nikola Zdravkov as Crow, while the female leading role Hope has already been assigned to a well-known singer and will be announced soon.

The intensity continues with the arrival of Ronnie Grace, who takes on the role of Gamohra, the second female villain in the opera.

After completing her recording sessions, Kotzev admitted that expectations had been raised yet again: “I thought Veronica Freeman scared me, but Ronnie took that another level up.” The emotional intensity translated directly into the final performances.

Kotzev commented on the project, saying, "She has an evil role, one of the main antagonists.

I'm rarely scared in the studio, but she managed to scare the living hell out of me.

You'll hear it." Freeman, who plays Reptilah, revealed her character's name is inspired by her darker side: “My character’s name is Reptilah, so when I was asked about this, I thought: how perfect.

She’s evil, not that I’m evil, but she is really mean.” The opera continues to expand the growing cast of Draconia.
