Performer: Greek National Opera

Eine Neuauflage von Maria Callas’ Medea aus dem Jahr 1961 heraufzubeschwören, bedeutet, sich den grausamsten Vergleichen in der Opernwelt auszusetzen. Die Griechische Nationaloper hält dem fast den ganzen Abend über in Epidaurus stand, doch dann kommt der letzte Akt…

L'opéra d’Amilcare Ponchielli ouvre de fort belle manière la saison athénienne, avec une mise en scène audacieuse et convaincante d'Oliver Mears et un beau plateau vocal.

The punishing role of Medea is forever associated with Maria Callas. To celebrate the diva’s centenary, Greek National Opera presents a new production by Sir David McVicar, starring Italian soprano Anna Pirozzi.

The legendary mezzo-soprano Agnes Baltsa received a standing ovation while collecting her Lifetime Achievement Award, while other awards went to artists and companies from around the globe.

In the 1950s, Maria Callas helped revive the fortunes of Cherubini's Medea. In the soprano's centenary year, Greek National Opera stages a new production as part of an ambitious season. 

The composer and Artistic Director of Greek National Opera lays out his thoughtful and broad-minded plans for a season which celebrates the bicentennial of the Greek Revolution.
