A unique theatrical extravaganza 'Divine Michelangelo' in Vilnius!
About this event
On December 16th in Vilnius, the spectacular theatre-opera extravaganza 'Divine Michelangelo' will be performed for the LAST TIME!
At the request of music fans who were captivated by the incredible theatre-opera extravaganza 'Divine Michelangelo', the performance will be held for the last time on December 16th at 7:00 PM in Vilnius, in the very heart of the capital's Old Town, at a unique venue—the wonderful, cozy, and perfectly equipped Muzikos Magijos klubas, which can accommodate only 45 lucky spectators! This magical place has become highly appreciated among connoisseurs of good taste, which is why the final 'Divine Michelangelo' performance will take place here!
We present to your attention a unique performance by the legendary theatre director Aleksandras Rubinovas, dedicated to the Great Genius!!!
'Divine Michelangelo' – that is the name of this wonderful combination of dramatic, operatic, artistic, and poetic mastery – a subtle, sincere, sensual, and poetic work created by the extraordinary Kaunas theatre director and actor Aleksandras Rubinovas!
The hero of the new work is a great genius sent to us from the Heavens – Michelangelo Buonarroti!
His life, complex and unusual love affairs, sincere poetry, and, of course, unique work form the basis of this exceptional spiritual feast, inspired by a team of extraordinary artists endowed with broad creative talents: the dynamic acting is masterfully performed by the wonderful actress Daiva Škelevaitė, and Benjamin Britten's vocal cycle 'Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo', rarely heard in concert halls due to the extreme complexity of the vocal technique, is masterfully performed by opera tenor Mindaugas Zimkus, accompanied by the talented pianist Paulė Gudinaitė, who also performs works by other composers!
The stage action is enriched by ingenious video projections that effectively convey the genius's creations, his paintings, and sculptures! Of course, the creators of this unique spiritual feast for the soul and eyes are very grateful to the poet Violeta Šablinskaitė, who wonderfully translated these sincere sonnets of the Great Messenger of Heaven to humanity – Michelangelo – from the old Italian language!
Hurry, only 45 lucky ones will have the opportunity to witness this unforgettable cultural event! To mark this occasion, after the performance, there will be an opportunity to interact with all the participants of the play, ask questions, and enjoy drinks specially brought for this anniversary from the country where the Great Genius created his works!
