Day 58. Visit to Lithuanian National Drama Theatre

Every Vilnius resident at least once a year has to visit a National Drama Theatre (subjetive) :)

Founded in 1940 as Vilnius State Theatre, it became Lithuanian National Drama Theatre in 1998.

Location - in the heart of Vilnius, not far away from the Cathedral, at Gediminas ave. 9.

Some production by foreign directors are performed with English subtitles, for example Heroes' Square by Thomas Bernhard, directed by Krystian Lupa (2015), or a shoking (in my opinion) Our Class by Tadeusz Slobodzianek, directed by Yana Ross (2013), and others.

Therefore, also Vilnius visitors can visit the theatre.

The Big Hall has 660 seats, the Small Hall has 171 seats, the Studio is used for experimental production.

All the other information and the facts and dates you can find by clinking on the link wiki just at the bottom of the picture.

On the whole, I love this place, I love actors and the atmosphere, although some produtions last for 3 hours and 30 min, what, after a long working day, could be a real challange.
