At the same time, Ardelius emphasizes that not all cultural activities have the same conditions.

One cannot take this as an example of how it could look everywhere, the conditions differ between different activities. It is inspiring and developing that the Opera shows this example. But one must simultaneously hold on to and strengthen public financing in order to be able to work with this as well.

Culture Minister Parisa Liljestrand (M) says that the government from the beginning in the dialogue with the Opera expressed that they would like to see private donations.

Partly because I believe that culture becomes better, freer, and more enjoyable when one can broaden financing and by getting this in, we can create a significantly better alternative, she said to TT.
