Ieva Dūdaitė: Arena Piano Show

By popular demand, Ieva Dūdaitė returns to the Žalgiris Arena

Pianist Ieva Dūdaitė, who held the biggest concert of her career this spring, has announced unexpected news: the show, which was intended to be a one-off performance, will return to the Kaunas Žalgiris Arena on December 27th by popular demand from hundreds of listeners, featuring the "Arena Piano Show" program adapted for the most beautiful holidays of the year.

The pianist reveals that after her performance in Kaunas at the end of March, her phone was flooded with messages from listeners, filled with both praise and requests to repeat the show. Ieva admits that this show was meant to be a one-time event, but after trying to count all the requests from listeners, the idea was unexpectedly born to give a gift to her fans during the major holidays of the year.

"I receive messages after every concert, but after Kaunas, it felt like my phone would explode. We had decided that we would do this show only once, so for a good two or three weeks after the concert, I was replying to many listeners, saying how sorry I was to hear that they couldn't make it this time and that there wouldn't be a second show. But then I decided to count how many requests for the show I had received, and when I lost count, I realized I had to do something," says Ieva Dūdaitė.

Ieva Dūdaitė's new "Arena Piano Show" will feature the best and most surprising solutions from the performance held this spring. The audience can look forward to a program adapted for the festive period, technical and visual stage solutions, and surprises that will be revealed closer to the date.

In March, at the country's largest arena, the pianist stunned the audience with a multitude of unique solutions – a piano covered in LED screens, a 360-degree rotating stage, an unexpected saxophone solo, numerous dance performances, a burlesque act, and a show finale created specifically for this evening as a dedication to the musical "The Greatest Showman".

In Kaunas, I. Dūdaitė was assisted by a group of dancers, a choir, a rhythm section, her sister Marija Dūdaitė, rapper Kamuza, and two international guests – perhaps the world's most famous cellist, Jodok Cello, and Canadian performer David Marino. The event organizers reveal that the pianist's talent and unique show solutions have attracted a lot of attention not only in Lithuania but also abroad.

Ieva Dūdaitė's "Arena Piano Show", returning to the Kaunas Žalgiris Arena by popular demand with its unique piano, exceptional scenography, and festive program, will take place on Sunday, December 27, 2026. Event tickets are distributed by the "Bilietai.lt" platform.
