A New Year’s Tale for the Port Family: A Festive Evening Took Place at the Odesa Sea Port
On the eve of the New Year holidays, the Odesa Sea Port Authority organized a true family evening for the staff of the Odesa Branch of the SE “USPA” filled with warmth, light, and genuine emotions.
On 26 December, port workers, together with their children, were the first audience to see the New Year musical «Sinbad and the Magic Fire», staged by the Honored Artist of Ukraine Hanna Chornobrodska, at the Ukrainian Theatre.
An exciting plot, bright costumes, leading city performers, ballet, modern video decorations, music, and lighting effects created the atmosphere of a true fairy tale, captivating both children and adults.
The evening was truly spectacular and, at the same time, warmly family-oriented—with smiles, genuine laughter, and a sense of togetherness.
As noted by the Head of the Odesa Branch of the SE “USPA” Dmytro Nazarenko, such events hold special significance today:
- Even in difficult times, and especially in very challenging ones, we have to find ways to bring warmth, care, and light to people. Every day, Odesa port workers risk their lives to come to work and perform their duties dedicatedly. They are incredible people who keep the port running. The opportunity to return, even for a few hours, to childhood, to immerse oneself in a fairy tale with the children, brings positive emotions, fills the heart with hope, and gives the strength to move forward.
Special thanks to the port’s partners—the stevedoring companies—for their support in organizing the event and helping create a festive atmosphere for the employees and their families.
