The magic of sound: music festivals and concerts in the Baltic states
The Baltic region is famous for its rich cultural calendar, offering a variety of musical events throughout the year. Riga hosts an annual opera festival in June, and you can enjoy opera performances on the Sigulda castle’s outdoor stage in July. The song and dance festival, traditional for Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, attracts thousands of participants and spectators. Riga is particularly impressive with its music programmes scheduled for Christmas and New Year’s Eve, and organ concerts in the Dome Cathedral round off this kaleidoscope of cultural events with great sound and a unique atmosphere.
