SUMMARY:Līga Spunde: Field of Exercises
DESCRIPTION:Latvian artist Līga Spunde turns TUR into an abstract training ground where large sculptural forms explore gestures such as embracing\, holding hands and standing with confidence. \nThe exhibition treats these gestures as exercises in empathy\, tenderness\, resilience and care rather than physical training. Smaller works hidden throughout the space invite visitors to slow down and pay closer attention to how they move through the exhibition. \n\n📅 August 20 to September 20\, 2026\n📍 TUR_telpa\, Tallinas iela 10-3\, Riga\nOpening hours: Wednesday to Sunday\, 13:00 to 18:00

SUMMARY:Nabucco at the Latvian National Opera
DESCRIPTION:Giuseppe Verdi’s Nabucco returns to the Latvian National Opera on Saturday evening\, with Mārtiņš Ozoliņš conducting the four-act opera. The work was Verdi’s breakthrough\, and its large-scale choral writing remains one of the reasons it has stayed in the repertoire for nearly two centuries. \nThe Riga production uses the passage of time as its visual and dramatic framework. The movement of the sun and the course of human life are woven into a story concerned with power\, judgement and belief. Jānis Apeinis and Julija Vasiljeva are among the cast announced for the September performance. \nThe curtain rises at 19:00\, with the performance scheduled to run until 21:50 at the Latvian National Opera on Aspazijas bulvāris. Tickets are currently listed from €20 to €75. \n🎟 Tickets \n\n📅 September 19\, 2026 / 19:00 to 21:50📍 Latvian National Opera\, Aspazijas bulvāris 3\, Riga
