Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra / Giedrė Šlekytė – Asmik Grigorian in concert

Asmik Grigorian brings Puccini and Wagner with the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Giedrė Šlekytė. Experience one of the most acclaimed sopranos of the moment in an intense concert with symphonic repertoire and iconic opera arias. Meet the Lithuanian world star Asmik Grigorian: the soprano who redefines the opera world. From the Metropolitan Opera in New York to the Salzburg Festival, from Vienna to Antwerp, she conquers hearts everywhere with her incredible combination of vocal perfection and intense, theatrical commitment. Grigorian doesn't hide behind technique. She takes the stage with everything she has: voice, body, personality. Her performances rarely feel safe, often intense, and precisely for that reason they linger. Internationally, she is praised for her uncompromising honesty. Grigorian dares to sound raw and fragile when the music demands it. Behind the scenes, she speaks openly about doubt, tension and vulnerability, not as weakness, but as fuel for her art. That attitude you hear in every phrase: nothing is routine, everything is at stake. Together with the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra and conductor Giedrė Šlekytė, she immerses the audience in a musical world in which the mystical symphonic poem In the Forest by Čiurlionis seamlessly transitions into grand, sweeping opera arias by Puccini and Wagner. Tenor Edgaras Montvidas adds his powerful voice to that. This concert is part of the cultural program of the Lithuanian presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2027.
