Greek National Opera
Oct 7,9,11,13: ’Rigoletto’ Giuseppe Verdi After
last year’s success, Rigoletto, one of the most famous
operas of Verdi opens this year’s artistic season. Nikos
Petropoulos’ direction places the action in Italy during
the period of fascism and presents the play with the
aesthetics of a film noir.
Oct 8,10,14: ‘Emilia Di Liverpool Gaetano Donizetti,
A Greek premiere of a less known opera of Donizetti,
Emilia di Liverpool is presented by the Greek National
Opera. It belongs to the genre of the Napolitan opera
semiseria, with prose dialogues but also characteristic
elements of romantic aesthetics, such as the storm and
the duel at a graveyard. In 1957 the play revived due to the
famous soprano Joan Sutherland, who was then at the
beginning of her career. The direction is by Gilles Rico.
Nov22,25,27,29: ’Ariadne auf Naxos’ Richard
Strauss, One of the most well known and most interesting
operas of Richard Strauss returns at the Greek
National Opera. The opera, with a libretto by Hugo von
Hofmannsthal, has a non-idealistic and a factual approach
to love: a love that can end, but life does not end. Directed
by Philippe Arlaud.
