Minister of Culture N. Puntulis expressed his joy that “we have obtained this masterpiece of Latvian architecture and construction of the 21st century, which is important for us all and outstanding, which at the same time symbolically represents our nation’s tradition and contemporary architecture with all the latest technological solutions”.
“But to make this place alive again, fully restoring the content, to fill both the stage and the public part in its new, much expanded capacity – it is the task of the whole nation and society. More than ever, the sustainability of the Song Festival has now become dependent on the personal choice and responsibility of each individual, ”the Minister added.
The Riga City Council has voted for the management of Mežaparks Grand Stage – the Northern Riga Cultural Association, which will also be in charge of the VEF Culture Palace and the Culture Palace “Ziemeļblāzma”.
The Mežaparks stage must become a place for culture, including popular culture and events on a daily basis, and the new manager will have a lot of work to take the development strategy of this place to a new level, ”said M. Staķis.
Minister of Education and Science Anita Muižniece told LETA that the Mežaparks Grand Stage should be open to everyone and all the time.
She admitted that for many Latvians, including her, the first memories from childhood of the stage are the gates of the territory locked forever.
The Minister believes that an open cultural space should be created in this place, because only it can create an idea of culture for children and inculcate it in children, if at any time anyone can see and feel it.
Renovation of Mežaparks Grand Stage started in 2016. According to the municipality, the total cost of the project is just over € 98 million. 12,874 choirs will be able to perform on the newly built stage.
