🎻 Hear the score take centre stage
The Liepāja Symphony Orchestra says it will perform alongside the Kaunas State Choir under conductor Ernst van Tiel. If you know the film well, listen for what the strings and voices do between the big jokes. The live performance gives familiar scenes a reason to watch and listen afresh.
👨👩👧 Plan a visit with children
The seller lists no minimum age. It offers free entry for children up to age seven who do not need a separate seat. If your child is seven or needs their own seat, check the exact ticket terms before booking. The seller lists a 20-minute interval. The ticket page also lists wheelchair places. Allow time for the entrance and getting everyone seated before the 18:00 start.
🎄 Make a Saturday of it in Riga
Leave the afternoon for a walk through Old Riga and a stop at the Christmas market on Dome Square. Have an early bite before heading to Skanstes iela. Save the arena address and check your return route before the show, especially if you plan to use public transport after the scheduled finish.
Staying for the weekend gives you Sunday for the rest of the city. Find a MIRO Rooms apartment for your Riga stay.
