Latvian Composer Zigmars Liepiņš’s Controversial Statement on Nationalistic Content in ‘Lāčplēsis’ Opera

Latvian composer Zigmars Liepiņš has published an ironic statement in his Facebook thread.

“It is my duty to warn that on 14.10 the performance of the out-of-date rock opera “Lāčplēsis” will take place in the arena, which was, is and will be with a strongly nationalistic (not Nazi!) and patriotic content for 35 years. Prrr… members must keep a safe distance to maintain purity, ” writes Z. Liepiņš on Facebook.

“Independent” journalist Elita Veideman already wrote that “Culture Minister Logina wants to redefine patriotism: it is too nationalistic”.
