We planned to hold the festival every other year, but you know how it is a big deal, preparations are serious just as the financial, artistic, organizational, so it is a big job. But Eduard Leonidovich set a task to make Odesa the cultural capital of Ukraine, and it is unthinkable without arts festival in the Odesa Opera. That is why we are actively involved in the preparations... So the II International Arts Festival will be held in Odesa 1 ― 9 June, 2013,” Hadezhda Babich noted.
