V. Kaminskaitė Achieves Career Heights in Germany: 'Elza is One of the Most Complex Roles by R. Wagner'

Lithuanian opera singer V. Kaminskaitė discusses her return to Lithuania and her experiences performing the complex role of Elza in Wagner's opera 'Lohengrin' after spending over two decades in Germany.

V. Kaminskaitė, an opera soloist who has been living and working in Germany for over twenty years, has captured the interest of opera enthusiasts with her upcoming concert in Lithuania. Last performing in her home country over a decade ago, her career has included a multitude of prominent roles in European and global opera theatres. Notably, she has been nominated for 'Best Opera Singer of the Year' by the magazine 'Opernwelt' for her work in 2024. Her return to the Lithuanian stage is looked forward to by both the audience and her collaborators.

In a recent interview, Kaminskaitė expressed her excitement about rejoining Lithuania's cultural scene, particularly as she collaborates with the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra and Maestro Gintaras Rinkevičius for the performance of Wagner's 'Lohengrin.' She highlights the significance of this return, as it marks her reconnection with her roots and the opportunity to engage with her home audience once again after a lengthy absence.

Kaminskaitė is set to debut her role as Elza at the Hanover State Opera in September 2025, a character she describes as one of the most challenging in Wagner's works. The anticipation surrounding her performance indicates not only her commitment to the art form but also her role as a cultural ambassador representing Lithuanian talent on international stages. Her journey reflects a blend of personal and artistic growth, bringing back her experiences and success to inspire the local opera community.
