Published:20250921

One of George Frideric Handel's best and most beloved operas, Alcina, was also based on the same story. It was first performed in 1735, during Handel's first year at London's Covent Garden Theatre. This year, continuing the tradition of Historical Opera Days at the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania, a historically informed performance of this opera by G. F. Handel was premiered in Lithuania – a concert version with video projections.

An evening of poetry and light in the Great Courtyard!

Published:20250908

The poetry of Motiejus Kazimieras Sarbievijus opened up to twenty-two voices and light in the galleries of the Grand Courtyard of the Palace of the Grand Dukes.
 
The works of the famous Baroque poet sounded like a choir of rhythms – musical recitation turned the voice into an expressive weapon in this hunt, and the fundamental questions of existence and human destiny became the target of music and light.
 
Organizer: National Museum of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The project is funded by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania. Partner: Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore.

The hour that gave you life

The hour that gave you life

Published:20250627

In commemoration of the year of Motiejus Kazimieras Sarbievijus and Baroque literature, the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania invites you to free Baroque literature readings, but this time it was different. The aim of the performative readings was to combine the Baroque tradition with modernity. The performers created a new sound, blending jazz music with elements of early music, and read Baroque poetry in such a way that it sometimes sounded as if it had been written today. This synthesis of two periods revealed new sounds in M. K. Sarbievijus' texts.
