Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

An exciting season has come to an end, in which your wonderful support inspired all the artists for some memorable performances. The NNTT has demonstrated, that it has a rightful place within the family of the leading opera houses of the world. From the bottom of my heart, the artists, the members of the house and me want to thank you for your strong support.

In the name of the artists, members and me, I would like to wish you, your families and friends a relaxing summer. We are looking forward to welcome you all again in September, when the curtain of your NNTT rises for another exciting voyage through the world of opera..

Sincerely yours
Artistic Director (Opera)
Thomas Novohradsky
