Is there any better way to experience art and culture than through a theatre performance? According to Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman, the state of Johor would benefit from having a theatre to stage the state’s art and culture, particularly performing arts. He felt that with the state’s fine art and cultural groups, it would be an easy task for them to portray the many cultural performances that would captivate visitors to the state.
It is undeniable that having a theatre, like Istana Budaya in Kuala Lumpur, would definitely provide visitors a place to head to if they are interested in immersing themselves local culture, but there are other aspects that are equally important in order to make such a venue a success. Maintenance, publicity and proper planning and organisation are just some of the factors that need to be considered.
How many of you have actually caught a performance at Istana Budaya?

Johor needs a theatre to stage the state’s art and culture, particularly performing arts, Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman said here.
This would enrich further the tourism products the state had to offer, he said at the launch of the Johor arts carnival “Sounds of Johor” at Taman Merdeka last night.
“Johor has quality art and cultural groups which can portray the art and culture of the various races in the form of tourism products,” he said.
Sounds of Johor was organised jointly by the state government, the Information, Communications and Culture Ministry and the Tourism Ministry.
Abdul Ghani said the carnival was a good way to highlight the state’s art and culture to the local people and foreign tourists.
Taman Merdeka, the site of the carnival, would become a new venue for such activities, he said.
Deputy Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum and Deputy Tourism Minister Datuk Dr James Dawos Mamit were also present at the event.
Salang, in his speech, said the carnival would nourish love for art and culture in the state.
Dawos, in his speech, said many tourism products in Johor have yet to be promoted to the optimum, such as the fireflies along the banks of the Muar River and the Pulau Kukup wetlands.
The three-day carnival which began on Friday features a 24-hour presentation by the Johor Ghazal group for recognition in the Malaysia Book of Records.
