Muzika teatro scenoje ir už jos: nacionalinio dramos teatro muzikos tekstai ir kontekstai
ENThe best music is the music you don‘t hear. This is a banal truth, which is usually recalled when trying to use music on the stage of the theatre. It is as important in a play as it is not. At first glance, this paradoxical statement appears to be illogical, or to take a negative view of music. In reality, it points to the relationship between text and context that is common to music in a drama theatre. The text is treated as important information at the centre of attention, not only as a verbal construct. Antanas Kučinskas, who worked as a sound engineer at the theatre from 1993 to 1998, and who was head of the Music Department from 1998 to 2013, writes about the music that played, and still plays, in productions at the Lithuanian National Drama Theatre.
