Intérprete: Greek National Opera

To rebuild Maria Callas’s 1961 Medea is to invite the cruellest comparisons in opera. For most of a single night at Epidaurus, Greek National Opera withstands it, but then comes the final act...

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.
