PRELUDE 12/12. Opening of CITUS Druskininkai Cultural and Congress Centre

Druskininkai is turning a new page in its cultural history. On December 12, the doors open to the CITUS Druskininkai Cultural and Congress Centre.

For music. For theatre. For cinema. For conferences. For Lithuania. For the world.

The beginning of a new chapter will be marked by a spectacular opening event, PRELUDE 12/12. Different musical genres, some of Lithuania’s brightest stars and three distinct spaces will unexpectedly come together in one extraordinary soundscape.

A prelude is a moment before something unfolds. A sense of anticipation just before a new beginning. On this evening, the new venue will discover its own voice, welcoming the first light, musical harmonies emerging from silence and the first movements on stage.

Three halls will become one musical and audiovisual experience, bringing together the grandeur of symphonic music, the power of operatic voices, the improvisation of jazz and the boundless sound universe of experimental electronic music. A single artistic narrative about a new beginning.

Come, listen and experience the sound of a new cultural landmark.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

During the first part of the event, a unified artistic programme will take place across all three halls. One ticket entitles you to experience the performances live in your selected hall, while performances taking place in the other halls will be streamed live via video and audio.

During the second part of the event, each hall will host a different artistic programme.

Your ticket is valid only for the selected hall and its programme. Moving between halls will not be permitted. Please choose the programme you wish to experience live before purchasing your ticket.
