During the festival, the Operetta Theater would like to share the most glorious things that have been created in the theatre over the last ten years. Thus, the festival will cover various genres of musical theatre, but the guiding principle will be to provide the audience with only positive emotions, says Agija Ozoliņa-Kozlovska, Artistic Director of the Operetta Theater: "We have thought about this and sincerely wish that everyone who comes can really enjoy this festival from all points of view. It should be a colorful experience, rich, lush, pleasing to the ear and touching the heart and soul, uplifting and inspiring."
The prelude to the festival will be the concert "Vivat!" this Sunday, July 28 , at the Ikšķile Lutheran Church. The main events of the festival will start on August 1 and will take place for three days at the Ikšķile Open Air Stage.
The festival will culminate on Saturday with the Anniversary Gala Concert "Celebrate Operetta!"
"This time, the program will include the most beautiful operetta numbers from our repertoire, the ones that have been most dear to our hearts over the past ten years, the ones that have been singled out by our audiences as their favorites," says the artistic director.
The gala concert will feature a wide range of soloists from France, Italy, and Latvia, dancers and an orchestra under the direction of Atvars Lakstīgala. This will be followed by the traditional Waltz Evening, which is already a favorite for many, with Atvars Lakstīgala conducting the orchestra. "Personally, I don't know of many events in Latvia where you can come and dance with a full symphony orchestra," says the conductor.
