The Edelweiss Foundation once again supports the most important cultural event in the Republic of Moldova - “Maria Bieşu” International Opera and Ballet Festival.

For the 26th year in a row the art lovers have the chance to get loaded with the energy of the great opera singers who will come on the stage of the national opera during the eight memorable nights.
