Paris , Apr 16 (EFE) .- (Camera: Mario García Sánchez) Venezuelan musician Gustavo Dudamel became this Friday the new musical director of the Paris Opera for the next six seasons, an adventure that he said he would assume with honor and with a desire to contribute with a vision of transformation and inclusion.FOOTAGE FROM PARIS OPERA, IN FRANCESOUNDBITES OF GUSTAVO DUDAMEL AND ALEXANDER NEEF, GENERAL DIRECTOR OF PARIS OPERA DURING THE PRESS CONFERENCETRANSLATIONDUDAMEL - Few cities understood, like Paris did, that beauty and art are a common good, they are an exercise of community. I have always considered that art is a universal right. Artists, more than ever, must do the impossible to elevate art into something as simple as it is transcendental. Take it to those who need it most. Please join me in what promises to be an extraordinary time of exploration, discovery, creation and collaboration. I am very excited and somewhat stunned, but I look forward to this place of wonders and to creating and sharing art with all of youNEEF - "Gustavo is among the most talented and prestigious conductors in the world. In addition, his journey like no other embodies the desire to transmit and perform through music."INTERVIEW WITH DUDAMEL For me, bringing what I represent is extremely important. We are in a place where there is openness and we have everything to do so. I feel honored. I see it as an achievement of a team, of my colleagues who grew up together, those children who learn and dream, they are very important references to remain motivated and grow, it is also their achievement. Latin America is a continent in evolution and growth, that desire for transformation is very important in a place where the base is tradition, transforming and transcending that tradition is essential
