Darbas:
four-meter-high Zappa bust, at Kalinausko 1 in the city center, was unveiled in 1995 after intense lobbying by Zappamaniacs. The zany iconoclast, who died several years ago of cancer at the age of 52, achieved cult status in much of the former Communist bloc for his anti-establishment themes. He allegedly intended to visit Lithuania before he died, or so his fans here say. Some older Lithuanians thought the idea of a monument to a quirky American rock star with a penchant for four-letter word lyrics was, at best, nuts. The monument is said to be the first and only one dedicated to Zappa anywhere in the world.Back in the USSR: The only Soviet nostalgia sight left in Vilnius are the Bridge Statues on Zaliasis Tiltas, glorifying The Soviet Worker, are gaudy and pompous. They make good landmarks and are memorable backgrounds for tourist photos.
The Opera and Ballet Theater, on A. Vienuolio street, along the river, offers performances from the pseudo-professional to the outstanding. During intermission, rub shoulders with Vilnius VIPs. Buy tickets several days in advance or show up with your fingers crossed five minutes before the performance starts.
The National Philharmonic at Aušros Vartu 5, offers a range of classical music, from Mahler and Beethoven to post-modern or medieval music performed on original instruments.

Vilnius Congressional Palace: Vilniaus 6/14. A concert hall.
Adomas Mickevičius (Adam Mickiewicz) Memorial Apartment: Bernardinu 11. The flat where the great 19th century poet lived in 1822. Lithuanians insist on calling him Mickevičius and claim him as their own. He only wrote in Polish, and Poland claims he is Polish to the bone. He was the author of the Polish epic poem Pan Tadeusz, which opens with, “Lithuania My Fatherland, you are health, only he who has lost you can know how much you are cherished.” Lithuanians say Mickevičius was referring to Lithuania per se; Poles say he was referring to Lithuania as a mere province of Poland. This museum takes the Lithuanian view.
