About Baltic Ballet Theater.

Baltic Ballet Theatre (BBT) was founded in 2010 in Vilnius, Lithuania, by director, choreographer and former ballet soloist Marija Simona Šimulynaitė. Her productions are praised for innovation and a futuristic spirit, blending holographic installations, interactive visuals, laser shows, striking lighting and water fountains.

The professional troupe dances in venues ranging from chamber spaces to the largest arenas and theatre stages, fearlessly choosing unconventional settings, avant-garde and Futuristic costumes and spontaneous directorial ideas.

BBT’s record already includes 30+ premières of Ballet, drama, dance, opera and musical projects. The team appears at festivals, public events, TV programmes and private occasions not only in Lithuania but also in Denmark, the Netherlands, Monaco, France, Germany, Estonia, Latvia, Italy and beyond.

Performances feature music by Depeche Mode, Metallica, Björk, ABBA, The Beatles, Queen, Patrick Doyle, Nino Rota and others, as well as classical works. Artistic Director Marija Simona Simulynaite, creates original ballets, writing the libretti and designing the visual concepts herself.

Driven by bold imagination, the core ensemble of 25 professional ballet dancers, is joined by guest artists from Brazil, Italy, Ukraine, France and Baltic states.

BBT attracts a wide audience—students, seniors, dance experts and newcomers alike—united by a love of movement and beauty.

BBT, born in Lithuania, belongs to everyone.
