Liepāja Theater is a top spot for cultural entertainment for locals and visitors. It is the oldest professional theater in Latvia, founded in 1907. The theater has recently been restored, but the beautiful antique style of the beginning of the 20th century has been kept in place. The theater hall is as luxurious and vintage-looking as it should be, with gold, white and red hues dominating the décor, and large red curtains shielding the stage. The theater offers a large high-quality repertoire, showing respect towards musical traditions as well as focusing on contemporary audiences. The shows offered are only in Latvian, but if you are really passionate about theater and performance, the language barrier is not that crucial.
