'IN FROM THE COLD'
11 April 2004
'A century ago Riga was known as the Paris of the North,'
explains Anna Osmushkina, Latvia's leading fashion designer.
Today, a revival of the country's fortunes and a blossoming of
creativity in the arts is once again transforming the capital.
'After 10 years of independence, people are starting to call
Riga "the hottest city of the north". There are local and
visiting arts exhibits, opera, theatre and ballet, nightclubs
and discos that rock with jazz, blues and the latest electronic
fusions of hip-hop and dance music.
