In the summer of 2020, eight concerts were held, including five solo concerts and three joint concerts. “At that time, not knowing that the pandemic in the world would continue for so long, the audience was promised to repeat such summer evenings in the theater, thus ensuring the beginning of a new and beautiful tradition in Liepaja,” says Borga.
This year, spectators will be offered two new concert programs in the yard – “Lantern Hour”, which will be performed in seven concerts from July 7 to 11, and “Acacia Sheet”, which is scheduled for July 27 to August 1. Almost the entire troupe of Liepaja Theater actors will take part in both concerts. They will be accompanied by Liepāja musicians led by Normunds Kalniņš, who has also done a great selection of musical material.
Each program is dedicated to one of the two outstanding composers – Raimonds Pauls and Imants Kalniņš. These composers have been chosen because they have dedicated many years to the creation of theatrical music, which has also been used as a basis for creating programs. Raimonds Pauls ‘cycle “Lantern Hour” will feature music composed for both Liepāja Theater and other theater performances – “Ladies’ Paradise”, “Day of Lovely Mania”, “Forest Swans”, “Sister Kerija”, etc., while Imants Kalniņš’s program “Acacia Sheet” will sound songs written specifically for Liepaja Theater performances, such as “Bremen Musicians”, “Love, Jazz and the Devil”, “Three Musketeers”, “Prince and the Beggar Boy”, “Lily”, etc.
The concert programs are composed by director Herberts Laukšteins, choreographer Inga Krasovska and artists Zigrīda Atāle and Aurika Feldmane.
There are two parts for each concert. There will be a café during the event. As the event will take place outdoors, the organizers recommend choosing weather-appropriate clothing.
Ticket sales will start on June 8 at 12:00, number of places is limited. Tickets can be purchased at “Biļešu paradīze” and Liepāja Theater box offices.
The representative of Liepāja Theater reminds that currently the regulations stipulate that it is possible to attend the events in person only for those spectators who have been vaccinated against Covid-19, as well as for those spectators who have become ill with Covid-19. Upon arrival at the concert, spectators will be required to present an entrance ticket along with a valid passport or ID card and a Covid-19 certificate.
