BIOGRAPHY

Modestas Barkauskas began his music studies at the age of fourteen. First, he studied choral conducting at the Šiauliai Conservatory (1997-2001) and then pursued choral and orchestral conducting studies at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (2001-2005) with Prof. Jonas Aleksa and Assist. Prof. Dainius Puišys. Having obtained a Bachelor’s degree, he went on to study orchestral conducting with prof. Juozas Domarkas and received an MA in orchestral conducting in 2013. In 2016, he became a laureate of the Glinka Competition in Saint Petersburg (conducting category). In that same year he received the Golden Cross of the Stage as the Best Young Artist for the production of ballet triple bill Bolero+ at the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre. In 2017, Barkauskas was bestowed 3rd Prize at the prestigious Grzegorz Fitelberg International Competition for Conductors in Poland.

He made his debut as a conductor in 2009 at the Klaipėda State Music Theatre, where he has conducted La traviata and The Barber of Seville, among other performances, and has prepared the premieres of the dance performances Eglė, Queen of the Grass Snakes (choreography by Martynas Rimeikis, 2019) and Faust (choreography by Robert Bondara, 2020).

In 2012, Barkauskas made his debut at the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre. His engagements here have included the ballet Tristan und Isolde (to music by Richard Wagner, choreography by Krzysztof Pastor), Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore, the ballet Carmen (to the music by Georges Bizet, choreography by Didy Veldman), the ballet triple bill Bolero+ (choreographies by Itzik Galili, Martynas Rimeikis, and Krzysztof Pastor), Mindaugas Urbaitis' ballet Der Prozess (choreography by Martynas Rimeikis) and Antanas Jasenka’s ballet In the Beginning There Was Nothing. As a second conductor he was engaged in the productions of Raminta Šerkšnytė's opera for children The Five Wonders of Mary, Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet (choreography by Krzyzstof Pastor), Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker (choreography by Krzyzstof Pastor), Mozart's Idomeneo (directed by Graham Vick), ballets Paquita and Les millions d’Arlequin (choreography by Alexei Ratmansky).

Besides his work in opera houses, he has frequently appeared in concerts with major Lithuanian orchestras, including the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra, the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra, the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra, the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra, the Klaipėda State Music Theatre Orchestra, the Klaipėda Chamber Orchestra, the St. Christopher Chamber Orchestra, and the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre Symphony Orchestra.
