Earlier this year, LNOBT entered the previously unknown social network of art institutions TikTok: the first theatrical recording in which opera soloists performed Nathan Evans’ song “The Wellerman” went viral and reached more than 6 millions. points of view. The popularity of this and LNOBT’s second stage dancers recording “TikTok” attracted national and international media attention.
This time, the LNOBT development team led by director Gediminas Šeduikis decided to go to TikTok with the song “My Mother Told Me”, which was played on the TV channel “History” from the series “Vikings”.
The octet of the men of opera (tenors Edgaras Davidovičius, Juozas Janužas, Rafailas Karpis, Tomas Pavilionis, baritones Jonas Sakalauskas and Steponas Zonys, basses Egidijus Dauskurdis and Liudas Mikalauskas) and the charming soloist Monika Plerturing and still guiding those who still live between us, -change the determination to sacrifice for our homeland and its people.

“The manager of the Tautvydas Juzėnas theater suggested using this song for the new LNOBT recording” TikTok “, and his idea was acceptable to us. Our ancestors, the whites, had many connections with the ancient Vikings, so we have inherited historical aspects , religious and cultural in common.
The television series “Vikings” is one of my favorites. The song “My Mother Told Me” featured in it seems extremely masculine to me, full of rituals of dark harmonies and at the same time has a bright feminine origin. I think fans of Carlo Gustav Jung’s writings will have something to think about as they watch … M.Pleškytė’s light, bright, and bright soprano has become a great counterweight and a brilliant contrast to the male voices, “he says. the director G.Šeduikis.

“Many people have mentioned that my image in this post is reminiscent of actress Merilyn Monroe. We’re not specifically targeting that, we’re just trying to recreate the old movie atmosphere with white smoke and tux. Also, this is the first time in my career that I have come on stage directly from the dungeons of LNOBT, ”says young record star M.Pleškytė.
Meanwhile, J. Sakalauskas, the CEO of LNOBT, standing among modern Vikings, sings for the first time on the TikTok theater recording.
“I am happy to have the opportunity to collaborate with extremely creative, professional, talented and dedicated people. Thanks to them, the name of LNOBT is becoming more and more known around the world, which was the goal of our deliberate step into the territory of the social network TikTok, which is attractive to young people, ”says J. Sakalauskas.
The arrangement of the old Scandinavian hymn was prepared for the opera soloists by the composer Vitalijus Neugasimovas. The visual implementation of the new TikTok recording was done by video and editing director Ričardas Rickevičius, and professional music recording by Aivaras Stankevičius.
