The laying ceremony of the time capsule of the Riga Wagner Theater

On May 21, the day before Richard Wagner's 210th birthday, the laying ceremony of the time capsule of the Riga Wagner Theater was held with full sails. Various documents and evidence of time were placed in the capsule, for example - the RRVB foundation protocol, historical pictures of the building and current project drawings, a message from the members to their descendants, as well as a joint message from three generations of Wagner - Eva Wagner-Pasquier, her son Antoine Wagner and granddaughter Daphne Wagner. After the solemn ceremony and festive speeches, the concert of the soloists of the brilliant chamber orchestra Kremerata Baltica filled the Wagner hall.

Thank you to the President and patron of the Wagner House restoration project Egils Levit, Chairman of the German-Baltic Parliamentary Cooperation Group Count Alexander Lambsdorf, Deputy Head of the Mission of the German Embassy in Latvia Dāvids Bartels, Deputy Chairman of the Riga City Council Linda Ozola, Chairman of the Baltic Chivalry Associations Foundation Kerstina von Lingen, International Richard To Rainer Finesk, president of the Association of Wagner Societies.
