Gala Stars

New musical project "Gala Stars": theater, classical music, and pop music will meet on one stage.

*Best seats for the lowest price! The first tickets – on July 21-24 – are 4 euros cheaper.

This autumn, Lithuanian music and theater fans will have the opportunity to experience a new, festive project, "Gala Stars," which will unite three different worlds of the stage. Singer and actress Oneida Kunsunga, singer Vaida Genytė, and the singer known as the gentleman of the stage, Egidijus Sipavičius, together with a professional string quartet, pianist Giedrius Nakas, and guitarist Kostas Balčiūnas, will present an elegant program in which classical music, old pop melodies, and theater aesthetics will intertwine.

The concert will feature songs by actors: Kostas Smoriginas' "Paukščiai," Saulius Mykolaitis' "Matrica," pieces from Lithuanian musicals – "Velnio nuotaka," "Meilė ir mirtis Veronoje," as well as from classic films: "Gladiator," "The Greatest Showman." However, Lithuanian pop melodies will not be forgotten: "Riešutų žydėjimas," "Laukų gėlė," "Vasara, vasara." The Italian pop song "Bella Ciao" and Egidijus Sipavičius' own piece "Diskoteka" will also sound somewhat unexpectedly in a string arrangement together with Vaida Genytė and Oneida Kunsunga.

The creators of "Gala Stars" promise an evening where not only music but also atmosphere will be important, which is why new arrangements of the pieces, refined and subtle scenography, and exclusive costumes are being created specifically for this project, all of which will allow the audience to immerse themselves in a festive, elegance-filled musical journey.

"I wanted to create a concert where different genres of music and theater would meet, but be united by an uplifting, festive emotion. The dramaturgy of the evening is designed so that each performance is an independent experience, and the entire event is like a single, elegant narrative," says Oneida Kunsunga.

The evening's program will feature classical arias and well-known pop melodies, enriched with string arrangements, sounding in a new way. The entire program is structured like a musical story – from sensitive and nostalgic moments to impressive climaxes.

Vaida Genytė says that the uniqueness of this project lies in the meeting of different performers.

"All three of us are very different, so unexpected musical dialogues are born on stage. It seems to me that this is exactly what makes this program special – each of us brings our own color to it, but together we create one common story," the performer states.
