Municipal Theatre of Piraeus

Pierre Beaumarchais' theatrical play "the Barber of Seville" or "the Useless Precaution", Nikos Kazantzaki's novel "Alexis Zorbas" and William Shakespeare's "Midnight Summer Dream" are masterpieces of the world's literature that had inspired equally astonishing music to great composers. These musical pages, full of vivacity, humor, lyrism, passion and dancing ambience, are brought to the audience of Piraeus by Lisa Xanthopoulou, conductor and by Stathis Karapanos, flutist.
