Riga Opera Festival
First held in 1998, the annual Riga Opera Festival closes the Latvian National Opera season in style. It features productions that have been premièred through the preceding season and welcomes guest companies to follow in Richard Wagner's footsteps and perform in Riga.
Wagner was assistant conductor in Riga from 1837 to 1839 (when he was in his middle 20s), around the time he was composing his Roman epic Rienzi (so before the works, from The Flying Dutchman that are regarded as his major canon).
Full details can be found on the Latvian National Opera website.
