Been to this venue a few times to attend the opera and had a great time. The building is lovely and the shows are great and has so much old school class. Also the pre-show/intermission area for food and drinks is great. I mean really, who wants to watch opera without a couple drinks in them. Love it here.
we are going to Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theater very rarely, lets say once per year. It was my second try to see "Barbora Radvilaite" ballet, first one two years ago was unsuccessful... With the first moment of performance i was absolutely impressed with everything : music, chorus, solo-soprano, dances, choreography.... well this is the spectacle everyone must see !!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish to say to all entrepreneurs BRAVO again and again !!!!!!!!!!well done : many thanks to all : Dirigentas Robertas Šervenikas Inga Cibulskytė, Eligijus Butkus, Aleksandra Ivanova, Aurelijus Daraškevičius, Julija Turkina, Voicechas Žuromskas, Mantas Daraškevičius, Kipras Chlebinskas, Kristina Galalytė, Agnė Ramoškaitė, Oriana Jimenez, Andrius Žužžalkinas, Gediminas Bubelis, Igoris Zaripovas, dalyvauja operos solistė Julija Stupnianekand Angelika Cholina for the choreography!
We organised tickets for the Carmen Ballet before we left Australia. the booking service required European Credit Cards so I wrote to the box office and they happily reserved our tickets which we picked up a few hours before. Price was good - 60 litas per person _ prices varied but are able to choose seats from their Website. Performance of Carmen was very professional- great modern twist to a story written over 300 years ago!
I think that this theatre has a good programme. We loved the concert by the Israeli Philarmonic Orchestra conducted by Zubin Mehta with participation of Violeta Urmana!
We went to a ballet about Lithuanian composer and artist Ciurlionis. It was a very high quality production and wonderful to share it with a great mix of locals - a much more varied audience than you'd get at a ballet in the UK. Sensibly, they start at 6.30 and are finished by 8.30 leaving time for a delicious dinner afterwards.
We had the wonderful opportunity to catch a opera piece here...it was wonderful..subtitles were there to help understand the play..however book in advance..tickets are not expensive.. English is a problem as Lithuanians usually do not understand the language
Lietuvos Nacionalinis operos ir baleto teatras is a must visit place in Vilnius. Lithuanians are known for their excellent performances worldwide. Come and see national ballet "Barbora Radvilaitė" or classical opera "Karmen". You won't be disappointed!
We had not pre booked but called to the opera house at lunchtime and got tickets to see La Boheme. It was wonderful and we really the performance as the soprano was superb. We had champagne and canapés before the opera and also during the interval. Such a treat. This is a modern building, not looking great from the outside but inside the auditorium, it is very nice. Tickets were really reasonable, approx. 20 euro each.
Despite the year of creating, this architecture and, especially, interior seems interesting to me. Nice looking lighting at the night (both from in- and out-side), interesting balconies.
A beautiful building for a wonderful ballet company. A magical evening. Recommended for ballet lovers and ballet novices!
