On June 5, the historic Vilnius Old Theatre will become a stage for artistry, courage, and diversity, where activism and creative expression come together. This is the setting for a unique event – “Pride Voices” – the Baltic Pride 2025 gala evening dedicated to amplifying and celebrating the voices, stories, and achievements of the LGBTQ+ community.

“Pride Voices” will bring together drag performers, musicians, and activists who will share their authentic experiences, artistic performances, and the courage to live freely. The evening will blend music, theater, comedy, emotional storytelling, and themes of resilience.

The stage will feature Belgian drag diva and vocal sensation LaDiva Live, known for her energy and fearless spirit. Representing Lithuania’s drag scene will be the visually captivating Edma and the embodiment of elegance, Aura More. Swiss performer Catherine D’Oex will present a program of French music infused with a strong human rights message, while Swedish soprano Viktor Priebe will showcase his exceptional voice that transcends musical boundaries.

The “Pride Voices” stage will also highlight unique stories from members of the LGBTQ+ community and human rights advocates. Activist Aurelija Paunksnė Ignotė will share her personal journey of queer identity. Estonia’s Commissioner for Equal Opportunities, Christian Veske, will speak about his personal experience and address regional inclusion and equal rights. Latvian lawyer and climate justice advocate Evita Gosa will discuss the intersection of law, social justice, and LGBTQ+ human rights, and share her own story.

The elegant setting of Vilnius Old Theatre will lend a sense of solemnity to the evening – a night dedicated to celebrating love, identity, community, and equality. Attendance is by invitation only. Guests are encouraged to dress to impress, bring their positive energy, and join in a celebration filled with light, dignity, and the spirit of togetherness.

Baltic Pride 2025 is an international LGBT festival connecting the three Baltic States, returning to Vilnius for the sixth time. This year’s program includes the March for Equality, the community space Pride House, the cultural event Pride Voices, and an international human rights conference.
