Andrei Shavrey on Four Premieres: Season Endings and Summer Shows in Riga Theatres
The end of May and beginning of June mark the close of Riga theatre seasons, but this is only a prelude to summer performances at the New Riga Theatre, Latvian National Opera, and Willa Teātris.
According to journalist Andrei Shavrey, the end of May and beginning of June traditionally mark the closing of Riga theatre seasons. However, this is only a prelude to summer shows at three theatres: the New Riga Theatre, the Latvian National Opera, and the chamber theatre Willa Teātris. Shavrey's article covers four premieres, including a production at the New Riga Theatre, a 'strange Bohemia', and a 'Sad Performance'. (Further details on each premiere are not provided in the source.)
