ROME-RUTHENIA 26 January 2025 (NRom)
As part of their commitment to promoting the arts and cultural enrichment, Their Apostolic Highnesses Prince-Bishop Rutherford (Radislav) I and Princess Hanna Alexandrovna of Rome-Ruthenia attended a stirring performance of La Bohème presented by Arizona Opera in Phoenix, USA.
The Apostolic Household, modern representatives of the historic Rurikovich, Romanovich, and Ivrea dynasties, has long championed the role of the arts in fostering unity and understanding. “Art and music transcend boundaries, offering solace, inspiration, and a sense of belonging to people from all walks of life,” said Prince-Bishop Rutherford. “This is not just entertainment—it is a profound reminder of our shared experiences and the power of creativity to uplift communities.”
Princess Hanna praised the Arizona Opera’s outreach initiatives, including programs for underserved audiences and youth. “We deeply admire their mission to preserve this vital part of our heritage while ensuring it reaches a wide audience. These efforts embody the compassion and service we hold dear.”
The broader mission of the Pontifical and Imperial Household emphasizes education, social welfare, and interfaith dialogue as tools to foster harmony among diverse communities. Drawing on their dynastic heritage, Their Apostolic Highnesses continue to champion creativity, compassion, and community through cultural preservation and philanthropic efforts.
