Selected speech
By inviting one guest theatre to the festival as our main guest, we would like to focus on the guest theatre’s country and it‘s culture. Opera and music are great links to connect different countries, different cultures and different nations. And it’s great to bring it all to the Nordic audience. We share the same values. It’s always important for us to have at least one title performed in guest theatre's native language. Usually, it's their own story, with music composed by their own composer. It's part of educating our audience. We do not perform only hits.
