Sofia's nightlife scene was ablaze as the prestigious Megami club celebrated its tenth anniversary with an extravagant bash, transforming the venue into a pulsating spectacle of light, music, and performance. Housed within the historic National Library "St. Cyril and St. Methodius" building, the club's "Once Upon a Time Biblioteka" interior provided a unique backdrop for the milestone celebration.

This image depicts the interior of the Once Upon a Time Biblioteka nightclub, situated within the National Library "St. Cyril and St. Methodius" building in central Sofia, Bulgaria. The scene is illuminated by intense, multi-colored artificial lighting, predominantly purple, blue, pink, and red, creating a low-light, high-energy atmosphere. The ceiling is elaborately decorated with dark foliage-like structures from which numerous fiber-optic light strands descend, glowing in various hues including blue and white. Multiple large, reflective disco balls are suspended throughout the overhead space, scattering light. Towards the upper right, illuminated red and pink panels are visible. In the central background, a large digital screen displays partial text reading "HAPPY BIRT" and "10 YEARS ANNIV", indicating a celebration. Below this screen, a raised stage features several performers dressed in ornate, feathered costumes, possibly engaged in a dance or show. The stage area is framed by prominent blue neon-style arched light fixtures on both the left and right sides. The screen behind the performers displays dynamic, abstract pink and purple light patterns. A large crowd, estimated to consist of over a hundred individuals, occupies the main floor area, standing and moving. Most individuals are dressed in casual to semi-formal nightclub attire. Their faces are largely indistinct due to the lighting and distance, but their posture and grouping suggest socialization and engagement with the club environment and stage performance. Many appear to be holding drinks. In the immediate foreground, a dark bar or railing is visible, with several bottles, some illuminated, placed upon it. From this vantage point, the backs of three individuals are clearly visible. One on the far left wears a light-colored short-sleeved shirt. Another in the lower right has a bald head and is seen with a drink raised towards their mouth. A third bald head is visible in the lower center foreground. The overall impression is an active, celebratory nightclub event.
