The Ukrainian song that the orchestras have recorded is called ”Ridna Maty Moja” or ”Dearest Mother of Mine”. It is about a mother saying farewell to her son – she gives him an embroidered cloth to remind him of her love and of the best moments in life.
“At a time when millions of people are suffering terribly in war, it is extra-important to show the power of cross-border cooperation. We are pleased and proud to be able to participate in this important collective demonstration of support for Ukraine. Together we are strongest,” says Henning Ruhe, Artistic Director Opera/drama and Andreas Lönnqvist, Orchestra Manager at the Göteborg Opera.
