COVID-19 Safety Policy and Procedure
ATTENTION! BALLET is an ongoing project initiated by the Klaipėda State Music Theatre to showcase young ballet artists and emerging choreographers. The project was launched on October 22, 2020, with an aim to encourage and give vent to the creativity of the theatre’s young and exuberant ballet company. The first programme of choreographic miniatures was performed and streamed live via the social media and channels of the theatre’s media partners. Both a critical and an audience success, the project was bound to become an annual event. Since 2021, the project's annual programmes of choreographic miniatures join the global celebration of the International Dance Day on April 29.
Costumes, designed for the productions of the Klaipėda State Music Theatre by Jordi Roig, Leo Kulaš, Elvita Brazdylytė, Martyna Kander, Iveta Ciparytė, and Ekaterina Zlaya, have been used in this programme.
