Two opera geniuses and eternal rivals who never met in real life – Richard Wagner and Giuseppe Verdi – unexpectedly meet at the Gates of Heaven, where the Heavenly Choir, led by the chief conductor, rehearses their most beautiful choruses. After an argument breaks out over whose choruses are better and more beautiful, one of the composers utters a forbidden word at the entrance to the Heavenly Gates, and they suddenly find themselves in the vestibule of Hell. Will they manage to find their way back and return to where the most wonderful music of both great composers sounds blissfully?
You will find out all this and more in an afternoon filled with the most beautiful choral music and the spirited antics of the actors, "Choir to Heaven," to which the majestic Kaunas State Choir invites you for the first time, ready this time to have some fun with the cheerful audience. The choir is famous not only for its classical programs but also often appears in unexpected roles, so this musical afternoon will surely surprise everyone: both young and old.
