“On behalf of Compañía Lírica Nacional of Costa Rica I would like to express the enormous pride I feel that my country is represented in this very beautiful OLA project, so that the world can witness productions and Latin American efforts. It is precisely in these moments of global anguish that art is important and essential and must be present in homes with its message that there is a future for all, a message of continuity and hope with which we can continue to produce, presenting and sharing music. We proudly present two productions of Compañía Lírica Nacional, the 35th Anniversary Lyrical Gala and La Traviata, presented in 2015 and 2017, respectively. They will soon have access to our Don Giovanni, from 2018.
