“I dedicate this special evening wholeheartedly to the memory of Andrejs Žagar, the former chairman of the board of the Latvian National Opera. He was my close friend and mentor for many years. We shared a special bond, I had complete trust in his advice on how to build my career as a singer. I am very grateful for all the beautiful opportunities he has given me. I will always miss Andrej, so I can’t think of a better way to honor his memory than to perform at the LNO again I hope to meet many of you in this celebration of life and art,” said Kristine Opolais.
