Every stage work written by Māra Zālīte is an event in Latvian culture - the rock operas "Lāčplēsis" and "Kaupēn, My Beloved", the musical productions "Forest Swans", "Sphinx", "The Chronicle of Indriķis", "Tobago", "Priekule's Icarus", and the operas "Bird Opera" and "Puppet Opera". Her poetic lines speak to us in the film "Sprīdītis", while the song "Still and All", which was once prevented from winning the "Mikrofons" poll for political reasons, we rightly call our nation’s second anthem.
In 2027, poet Māra Zālīte will celebrate her 75th birthday, which will be marked by the grand concert of theater and film songs by Māra Zālīte, "Soul Unbound". In one evening on one stage, Latvia's most popular singers, musicians, and actors will celebrate the poet’s anniversary with her songs, for which music was composed by Raimonds Pauls, Zigmars Liepiņš, Jānis Lūsēns, Uldis Stabulnieks, and other composers. Our meeting is on February 14 at 6:00 PM at Xiaomi Arena.
The poet will be greeted at the concert by Zigfrīds Muktupāvels, Intars Busulis, Aija Andrejeva, Gunārs Kalniņš, Ieva Sutugova, Miks Galvanovskis, Ilona Bagele, Beāte Zviedre, Aija Vītoliņa, Raimonds Bramanis, Atis Ieviņš, Kalvis Jenčs, Andris Kipļuks, Inga Šlubovska, Jurģis Namejs Zvejnieks, Henrijs Kozlovskis, Eduards Rediko, Domeniks Slišāns, Ralfs Puzāns, Tomass Deinis, Daniels Loginovs, Pēteris Narubins, Annija Bildarte, Agate Grīnhofa, Katrīna Altenburga, Sintija Ceplauska, Justīne Skutāne, Gerda Igaune, Kate Kokamegi, Daniela Muižniece, the choir "Anima" under the direction of Laura Leontjeva, the musical group "Vintāža", and other guests.
