Ingeborga Dapkūnaitė was born in Vilnius, then in the Lithuanian SSR of the Soviet Union, on 20 January 1963. Her father, Petras Edmundas Dapkūnas, was a diplomat, while her mother, Ingeborga Dapkuniene (Sabalyte), was a meteorologist. Because of work, her parents spent most of their time abroad (in particular, in Moscow), while Ingeborga remained in Vilnius. She was cared for by her grandmother Genovaitė Sabliene, the manager of the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre, and her aunt and uncle, who held positions at the symphony orchestra. Dapkūnaitė made her theatrical debut at the age of four as Dolore in the Puccini opera Madama Butterfly. Later, she also played in Faust, The Demon, and The Queen of Spades. Dapkūnaitė attended theatrical school at the local House of Unions and practiced sports, such as figure skating and basketball (quite popular in Lithuania by that time). After school, she enrolled in the Department of Theater Arts of the Lithuanian State Conservatory and studied under Jonas Vaitkus.
