Klaipėda State Musical Theater soloists Rita Petrauskaitė and Mindaugas Rojus give a festive concert together with a string quartet. On New Year's Eve, when it's cold outside the window and fluffy snow is shining, the festive program prepared by the performers of the Klaipėda State Musical Theater will take you to sunny lands, intoxicating with enchanting melodies and incendiary rhythms. Enjoying fun music, we will happily accompany the old year and hopefully wait for the New Year to begin.


In the program, you will hear well-known popular classic melodies, music by Italian, Spanish and other countries, and operetta arias.
