Welcome to Festival 08
Welcome to Festival 08. The Edinburgh International Festival was founded in 1947 in the aftermath of a devastating war, as an optimistic expression of what Europe could be. It owes its origins to an imperative to rebuild a sense of community in a continent which had torn itself apart; to restore hope to shattered lives through music, opera, drama, and dance. Europe today is a very different place. Borders have been redrawn in every direction and these borders are not just political or geographic, but also cultural, social and even religious. These are exciting times in which to live in Europe; times which demand a commitment to our sense of community. A festival is an expression of the creative ambition of the community it serves. It's also a place where the personal and collective challenges we face as a society can be explored. Please visit the website of the Edinburgh International Festival to discover every venue and enjoy your stay in wonderful Scotland. |
