Through two gala evenings on September 15 and 16, the Opera, Ballet and Folk Ensemble Theater (TKOBAP) inaugurated the reconstruction of the building, with special guests well-known artists such as Placido Domingo and Ermonela Jaho. People did not escape the absence of the well-known soprano Inva Mula, a name that was supposed to be at the ceremony not only for her contribution, but also to represent her parents, Avni and Nina Mula, two of the theater’s founders.
The suspicion that Inva was not in Tirana fell down when the soprano appeared at Ermal Meta's concert (September 17) at Air Albania. After that, allusions started why a name like Inva Mula did not receive the invitation?
Through an official statement, TKOBAP stated that “through the artistic director, Mrs. Abigeila Voshtina, like all excellent Albanian artists, also sent Mrs. Inva Mula official invitations to participate in the artistic program of the Gala Evening of the Inauguration of TKOBAP Reconstruction ”.
"These official invitations have been repeated three times, starting from November 11, 2019, as TKOB has had in its plans since then the realization of the Inauguration Gala Evening, plans which have been postponed for major reasons such as: the November 2019 earthquake and then the Covid situation 19. ”
The following is stated:
"We also clarify that one month before the last official invitation made by the artistic director, Mrs. Voshtina (in the email dated July 19, 2021), the general director of TKOBAP, Mrs. Zana Çela sent on June 14, 2021 a social message on WhatsApp, Mrs. Mula, but even in this case there was no answer. Below you will find the official invitations to the email and the message, sorted by date. ”
It is worth noting that the emails addressed to Inva are related to September 16 and 17, but it turns out that there is no invitation to perform on September 15, the day when Placido Domingo and Ermonela Jaho performed.
Tiranapost.al shkruan se Avni dhe Nina Mula, siç thamë ndër themeluesit e TKOB, nuk u përmendën gjatë ceremonisë. Përmes një interviste me gazetaren Mira Kazhani, sopranoja foli për herë të parë dhe theksoi, ndër të tjera, se nuk mori ftesë për të performuar.
“Unë nuk kam zemërim. Nuk kam zemërim për atë që bënë. Nuk kam zemërim, por kam një detyrim për të thënë të vërtetën, meqë tani u hapën gjërat dhe po tregohen dhe mesazhe, nëse e gjeni datën 15 që Inva është ftuar për të qenë në skenë, ma jepni dhe tani janë të qarta gjërat që mund të jenë shumë transparente,” tha ajo.
Inva also added: "I will forgive everyone for not participating as a protagonist on stage. There is nothing that I still have years to recover, but not to mention Nina and Avni Mulan, I can not forgive this. I can not forgive him. It's not a matter of forgiveness, but I can honestly say that it has made me very sad. "
