# Event Details - **Event Name**: Opera “Sun & Sea” - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 08 Apr, 2027 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 08 Apr, 2027 at 07:00 pm (+03:00) - **Event Description**: No 2027. gada 8. līdz 11. aprīlim Liepājas koncertzālē “Lielais dzintars” kā daļa no “Liepāja – Eiropas kultūras galvaspilsēta 2027” programmas tiks izrādīta starptautiski godalgotā opera-performance “Sun & Sea” (“Saulė ir jūra”), kas ieguvusi Zelta lauvas balvu Venēcijas mākslas biennālē. Šī būs pirmā reize, kad augstu novērtētā izrāde tiks rādīta Latvijā. Slavenās lietuviešu mūsdienu operas “Sun & Sea” autores ir režisore Rugile Barzdžukaite (Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė), dramaturģe Vaiva Grainīte (Vaiva Grainytė) un komponiste Lina Lapelīte (Lina Lapelytė). Izrāde izaicina klasiskās operas formas un paplašina žanra robežas, jo apvieno performanci, vizuālo mākslu un mūziku. Izrādes centrā ir mākslīga pludmale, kurā solisti šķietami ikdienišķās atpūtas ainās dzied par klimata krīzi, patēriņa paradumiem un mūsdienu sabiedrību. Librets apvieno humoru, ironiju un sociālo kontekstu, radot spēcīgu kontrastu starp vizuāli vieglo estētiku un globāliem eksistenciālajiem jautājumiem. Katrs muzikālais fragments kļūst par alegoriju cilvēka attiecībām ar dabu, vidi un sabiedrību, aicinot skatītāju domāt arī par savu vietu pasaules ekosistēmā. No 2027. gada 8. līdz 11. aprīlim opera-performance būs skatāma katru dienu vairākos seansos. Biļetes uz operu iespējams iegādāties “Biļešu Paradīzes” klātienes kasēs visā Latvijā un tīmekļvietnē www.bilesuparadize.lv/lv/performance/39339. No 2026. gada 1. septembra biļešu cena pieaugs.

The internationally acclaimed Lithuanian opera-performance Sun & Sea (“Saulė ir jūra”) – winner of the Golden Lion for Best National Participation at the 2019 Venice Biennale – will be staged at Liepāja Great Amber Concert Hall from 8 to 11 April 2027, as part of the “Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027” programme. Sun & Sea is the creation of director Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė, playwright Vaiva Grainytė, and composer Lina Lapelytė. The production challenges the conventions of classical opera, expanding the boundaries of the genre by bringing together performance, visual art, and music. At the heart of the work is an artificial beach, where soloists sing about the climate crisis, consumer habits, and contemporary society amidst seemingly ordinary scenes of seaside relaxation. The libretto blends humour, irony, and sharp social commentary, creating a striking contrast between the airy visual aesthetic and the weight of global existential concerns. Each musical fragment becomes an allegory of humanity’s relationship with nature, the environment, and society, triggering us to reflect on our own place within the world’s ecosystem. The opera-performance will run several times per day from 8 to 11 April 2027. Tickets are available at Biļešu Paradīze ticket offices throughout Latvia and online at www.bilesuparadize.lv/en/performance/39339. Please note that as of 1 September the ticket price shall increase. Please note that this opera-performance is a standing event, and audience members will experience it from standing areas on the 1st and 2nd balconies.
