The outstanding Lithuanian bass cantante Vaclovas Daunoras (b. 1937) joined the Lithuanian Opera and Ballet Theatre in Vilnius in 1960, where through 1993 he performed leading roles with the company throughout the world. His illustrious career with international performances includes La Scala and major prizes such as at the Toulouse Competition (a winner). He has critical acclaim for his numerous appearances as Philip II in Don Carlos, seen at the Bolshoi in Moscow, Sweden's Malme Opera House, Ruse State Opera in Bulgaria, and many houses in the Netherlands, Italy and Belgium. Other major roles in Daunoras' repertoire are the title role in Boris Godunov, sung on the Lithuanian State Opera Tour to the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, where he earlier appeared as Monterone in Rigoletto. He sang the latter role at La Scala in 1967 with Pavarotti as leading tenor. Other performed roles in his repertoire are Mephistopheles (Faust), Don Basilio (Il Barbiere di Siviglia), Raimondo (Lucia de Lammermoor), Galitsky (Prince Igor), Grand Inquisitor (Don Carlos), King Henry (Lohengrin), Gran Sacerdote (Idomeneo), and Marcel (Les Huguenots). His appearances have included performances of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, the Bach Magnificat, and Verdi‘s Requiem. Daunoras received the Bronze medal at the Glinka Competition in Moscow in 1962, was a laureate of the Tchaikovsky Voice Competition (1966) and the winner of the 1971 Grand Prix in Toulouse, France. In 1993 Daunoras moved to the United States where he sang mainly at the Metropolitan Opera. Appearances in the United States also included solo recitals at Carnegie Hall, Weill Hall, and Chicago's Orchestra Hall. In 2012 he returned to his native Lithuania. On the 23rd of December, 2018, on the eve of the singer’s birthday, in the premises of the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre, a Daunoras’ biography book by Jūratė Katinaitė “Karalių kuria aplinka” (“The King is Created by the Surroundings”) was presented. The event was graced with the presence of many honored guests. Despite Daunoras' poor health, the festive mood helped him to sign some two hundred copies of the book!

Algis Grigas +••.••(...)) was a Lithuanian baritone who did not pursue a career on a professional stage but all his life stayed associated with the Lithuanian Opera Company of Chicago. The Opera, established in 1956, is a unique phenomenon in America – none of the other ethnic communities, even those that are very numerous, had their own permanent opera (over its lifetime, the Company has presented more than 30 different operas). In this respect, it is a stunning Lithuanian phenomenon - opera as a symbol of national self-esteem and solidarity. Grigas began his vocal studies in Lithuania at the age of 16. In 1935, he with his family moved to the USA, where he continued his studies at Conservatory of Music and Roosevelt University. Later he sang in many performances of the Lithuanian Opera as well as a soloist with the Lithuanian choral ensemble “Dainava“ from Chicago or “Čiurlionis“ from Cleveland. Grigas was the first Lithuanian-American soloist who sang in 1985 at the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre where he was enthusiastically greeted in the role of Germont in La Traviata. This aria is taken from the vinil plate which Grigas recorded in 1984 with Philharmonia Hungarica conducted by Alvydas Vasaitis, a regular conductor of the Lithuanian Opera Company for some 20 years – see (http•••)
