Romania to get new opera house
OperaThe 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.
Why do you see a possibility of the money going missing?
Hopefully, they can make the interior look like the old instead of institutional ugly.
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
