Every Vilnius local has been to National Opera and Ballet Theatre at least once. In fact, Vilnius locals really love this theatre as the tickets are sold out for almost every play. The theater has a lot of classical ballet shows such as Blue Danube, Swan Lake, and my all time favorite The Nutcracker. My dad is a fan of classical operas (Aida, La Traviata, Otello), so the best gift for him is a ticket to the theatre. The repertoire for children includes Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella and Pinocchio. I take my kid to the theatre pretty often.
However, the theater is not only famous for its beautiful plays, but also for the most delicious hot chocolate drink in Vilnius (many locals will swear to you that this is truth and nothing but the truth). It is already a legendary drink. It has been made according to the same recipe for 40 years or so. And as you may suspect, this recipe is a secret.
