About the Latvian School Bag Programme
The cultural education programme “Latvian School Bag” provides pupils with a state-funded opportunity to learn about Latvian cultural values and contemporary expressions on a regular basis, thus developing competence in cultural understanding and expression, reducing social inequalities and fostering pride in one’s country and its people.
The Operetta Theatre actively participates in this programme, offering a number of educational and inspiring performances and programmes that introduce young people to the genre of operetta and musical theatre, its history and importance in Latvian culture.
