With the most famous arias of Puccini, Verdi, Prokofiev, Brahms… performed by the world famous opera diva Angela Gheorghiu, accompanied by the symphony orchestra of the National Opera and Ballet under the conductorship of Ciprian Teodorescu, the 63rd edition of the “Ohrid summer” festival was opened Wednesday evening in the Ancient Theater in Ohrid.
The festival was declared open by the patron of the event, President StevoPendarovski, who from the stage wished the artists freedom of thought, through their creations to reshape and give a different essence, at least for a moment, to what is rotten and problematic in the world.
“There is nothing more important than continuity in building the nation’s institutional memory. The “Ohrid Summer” festival is a paradigm for just such continuity, which through its sixty-three years of carefully archived and developed institutional capital leaves deep traces in the international exchange of cultural and artistic values,”Pendarovski said.
