On July 6, President Gitanas Nausėda’s visit to the State Day commemoration event caused a veritable storm of commentators on the Internet: when the rain was drowning, the president hid under an umbrella, but the Ąžuoliukas choir singers who It was next to him they were soaked by the heavy rains. Choir reps posted a Facebook post Tuesday night expressing their views on the multilingual event.
“It’s hard to understand when you haven’t sung in a choir. We have been the most discussed choir since last night. What you don’t know yet: we sang the ‘National Anthem’ on the King Mindaugas Bridge. It was our first show after the quarantine and it was unbelievably fun to be together again, however because it was raining so much we all got wet on stage, ”the chorus girls shared their experience on Facebook.
It was our first show after quarantine and it was incredibly fun to be together again.
According to the chorus girls, they had to sing more than once in the rain. “In fact, this is definitely not the first time in our history that we sing to the last seam. And although it was cold, unity with Lithuanians all over the world felt more than ever ”, emphasizes the recording of the choristers.
“Some things we want you to know:
1. For security reasons, the scene was planned without a roof from the beginning, as the depth of the scene was very small and you still could not have protected it from heavy rain with the wind. We discussed the rain with the event organizers and still decided to sing.
2. Perhaps it was necessary to give raincoats to the choristers? Perhaps. But the scene is the scene. And it is sacred to us. There is a certain dress code on it. So we didn’t think it would be fun to watch Oak trees in plastic coats on the occasion of State Day singing the National Anthem to Lithuanians around the world from the most important stage in the country.
The scene is the scene. And it is sacred to us. There is a certain dress code on it.
3. The safety and health of children is paramount to us. But sometimes it happens Force Majeure circumstances and quick solutions must be found here and now. Although we do our best to anticipate various situations and circumstances, “Ąžuoliukas” has had to sing repeatedly under conditions that changed just before the performance. The ability to sing when circumstances change dramatically and make our choir good, ”says the choir report.

This image did not pass through the eyes of the journalist and public figure Andrius Tapinas. “The irony. When I was inspired by the need to make Lithuania a wonderful patch where it is good for people to live, but it is under an umbrella and did not shoot make the slightest movement so that the child next to you has at least a better life at that time. Probably the best video of the current relationship between politicians and people “, – A. Tapinas published the arrows of criticism.
