“It is with deep sadness that we report that on June 5, the actress of the Daile Theater Lilita Ozoliņa (19.11.1947 – 5.06.2023) passed away unexpectedly. Her talent and intelligence have shaped the Daile Theater for more than half a century. The actress worked in the theater since 1966 and her the legend has become an integral part of the Daile canon,” says the Daile theater in a statement.
Lilit was a diva and a legend in the art theater. Her work was brilliant, so subtle and deep. An extremely painful loss for the Fine Arts Theatre, Latvian theater and world cinema. For us, both for the collective as a whole and for each of us personally. The loss is unexpected.
Lilita Ozoliņa welcomed her great and tragic hero Āria with a role in Raini’s tragedy “Indulis and Āria” (1987).
Lilita Ozoliņa received the widest audience love in her professional life after her big movie roles, which allowed many millions of people in the former Soviet countries to recognize Latvia in her images. In a recent interview, Lilita said about her role in the multi-part film “The Long Road in the Dunes”: “The Long Road in the Dunes” is not just another film for me or one role over the others. (..) “The long road in the dunes” is my soul’s debt, which is returned to my parents.”
Lilit Dailes played two unforgettable mother roles in the last seasons of the theater. It was Henrietta Iscariot (SA Girga’s “Midnight Show with Judas Iscariot”, 2022) and the title role in the production of Florian Zeller’s play “Mother” (2020), where she built a monument to mother’s love – so contradictory, but immeasurably great and strong.
Lilita Ozoliņa’s contribution to Latvian theater and cinema art is immeasurable and immortal – only by knowing Lilita was it possible to discover the versatility and richness that came from her personality and was brought to life in all her roles.
On behalf of the theater, we express our condolences to Lilitas Ozoliņa’s family, loved ones, fans of talent and everyone who will remember the bright personality of the actress.
