The minister of culture has allocated 80 million Euros to build a new opera house in Iasi, which has a population of quarter of a million.

The present opera house seats 750, and that’s too few for local demand. The new opera will open in 2027.

    Good news. Hope that money doesn’t go missing.

  • Omar Goddknowe says:

    Hopefully, they can make the interior look like the old instead of institutional ugly.

  • Daniel says:

    In a country having a music festival every 2 years in the capital, in a most dirty, amplified, communist hall, it sounds really wrong to invest that amount of money for such a small city that already has an opera house
