2020 has suffered the effects of an epidemic, enveloping the performing arts world in a layer of black clouds and causing the already beleaguered arts worker to strive to an even greater extent than before. But! We have not given up, and use music like a beam of light to sweep away the haze and carry us all toward a wild and boundless realm of imagination. There, in the shining vastness, creators from across generations join hand in hand, collide, and surge forth in an uninterrupted source of creativity. Besieged partners in artwork, advance into that faraway light! On the road ahead, music and opera have one another’s company, limitless creativity, and limitless hope, wild and boundless.
