The great Lithuanian lirico-spinto tenor Virgilijus Kęstutis Noreika +••.••(...)) was born in Šiauliai, Lithuania. In 1958, he graduated with honors from the Lithuanian Conservatoire, where he studied singing in the class of another great Lithuanian tenor Kipras Petrauskas. Next year, in 1959, Noreika debuted in the Lithuanian Opera where he performed Alfredo in Verdi's La traviata, one of Noreika's favorite and most frequently performed roles. In 1965-66, he was the first in the post-war Lithuania to go to internship at La Scala where he mastered six roles in operas including the part of Pinkerton which he sang at that famous Opera House. Later the singer appeared on the stage of La Scala several more times with the Moscow Bolshoi that was on tour in Milan. He had been repeatedly invited to become a member of the Bolshoi but he chose to stay in Vilnius. Later, in 1970, he became People‘s Artist of the USSR (the highest artistic award in the former USSR) but, in spite of many invitations from Metropolitan, San Francisko Opera, Liceu Barcelona and many others, Noreika remained cordoned off from the West during his long blooming years. Later he sang in Staatsoper Berlin, Opéra National de Paris, Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm, Lithuanian Opera of Chicago, and more than 30 others. Noreika's creative biography comprises more than 40 operatic roles: Cavaradossi, Faust, Rodolfo from La bohème, and finally, in his mature years, Otello, to name a few. In 1976 – 1991 he was the artistic director of the Lithuanian Opera, in 1993 – 94 he taught at the Academy of Latin American Singing in Karakas (Venezuela), since 1976 Noreika was a professor at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (Edgaras Montvidas, Sergej Larin (whose tomb is now next to his teacher‘s), Kristian Benedikt, Merūnas Vitulskis and many others were among his students.) Noreika performed more than 600 solo concerts, recorded 20 phonographic records and CDs. In order to honor his achievements, the First International Virgilijus Noreika Competition for Singers was organised in 2017. The competition will take place every four years around the birth date of Noreika. Romances, songs, and in particular folk songs, always occupied an important part of Noreika‘s repertoire. No matter where, at home or in France, in Russia or elsewhere, a Lithuanian song was almost a must (see, for example, (http•••) In our video, Noreika presents a touching performance of a romance ‘Ved Rondane // At Rondane’ by a Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg praising the beauty of his enchanting motherland and the wild mountains in the National park Rondane. This recording is taken from (http•••) We also thank Thomas Granrud for his 'One year in Rondane'.

He had been repeatedly invited to become a member of the Bolshoi but he chose to stay in Vilnius. Later, in 1970, he became the youngest People‘s Artist of the USSR (the highest artistic award in the former state) but, in spite of many invitations from Metropolitan, San Francisko Opera, Liceu Barcelona and many others, Noreika remained cordoned off from the West during his long blooming years. Later he sang in Staatsoper Berlin, Opéra National de Paris, Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm, Lithuanian Opera of Chicago, and more than 30 others.

Noreika performed more than 600 solo concerts, recorded 20 phonographic records and CDs. In solo concerts, Noreika usually sang Italian opera arias and especially Verdi, Donizetti and Puccini's works which were the closest to the singer's artistic nature. The great talent of Noreika, a top class vocalist with a virtuoso voice and the ability to convey a thrilling scale of feelings and thoughts, is very revealing in these works. Arias performed by Noreika used to become mini performances. For example, in four de Grieux arias from Puccini's Manon Lesco, the artist clearly reveals different states of the character: fiery bravura, lyrical flight, moving sincerity and extreme tension, eventually breaking and crushing the hero.
