Odeon of Herodes Atticus

In this, the bicentenary of the birth of Giuseppe Verdi, the great Italian composer’s vast and superb operatic oeuvre is being honoured all over the world with the splendour it deserves. The Athens State Orchestra will play its part in the celebrations by performing the celebrated and emotionally-laden Requiem which Verdi wrote in memory of the eminent Italian man of letters, Alessandro Manzoni. Part of this year’s Athens Festival, the performance, for which the Orchestra will be joined by distinguished singers and no fewer than three choruses, will be conducted by Vassilis Christopoulos.
