Operetta’s New Year’s Eve programmes feature a diverse, varied and rich bouquet of soloists. The programme has been designed in accordance with the audience’s expressed wishes for the highlights of the performances produced by the Latvian Operetta Foundation and the musical material of the Operetta Festival.
