Last weekend at the “Andon Zako Çajupi” Theater in Korça, under the excellent interpretation of the troupe and soloists of the Opera and Ballet Theater, directed by the great artist Inva Mula, who brought the production to life with her directorial ideas bringing back one of her father’s most popular works.

Inva Mula said that it was not difficult to extract from the archive the hilarious operetta composed by her father, Avni Mula, but it was a responsibility to bring it back once again after almost half a century on this stage. This is also to keep the legacy of the great composer.

Even for the soprano Renisa Laçka in the role of Afroviti, in Korça the emotions have been many times stronger thanks to the hospitality of the Korça art-loving spectators.

The operetta “Carnivals” was well received by the Korčari art lovers who filled the theater hall.

The director of the National Theater of Opera and Ballet, Abigeila Voshtina, based on the success of “Carnivals”, said that from time to time the Opera Troupe will return to the creativity of Albanian composers, pieces which have not seen the stage for many years.

The carnivals achieved this success thanks to the performance of the Opera and Ballet National Theater Symphony Orchestra, carefully conducted by Elda Laro, as well as the its Choir, conducted by maestro Dritan Lumshi, and also collaborating with the Armed Forces Symphony Orchestra.

This operetta written by Avni Mula, that was staged for the first time on February 5, 1978, comes 45 years later, commemorating the composer’s 95th birthday.
