Where sound and architecture meet, culture begins. Productions are staged, and music is performed. There are even more opportunities to immerse, communicate, and spread one’s understanding of perceiving the environment around us.

We are grateful for being invited. The “Akustika plius” team was delighted to design sound insulation, architectural acoustics, and interior for it.
The last reconstruction of the Lithuanian National Drama Theatre took place in 1981 when architects Vytautas and Algimantas Nasvyčiai renovated the theater.

Ten, kur susitinka garsas ir architektūra, prasideda kultūra. Statomi spektakliai ir atliekama muzika. Dar daugiau galimybių burtis, bendrauti ir skleisti savo supratimą apie mus supančios aplinkos suvokimą.
