2023 02 24 Markella Hatziano returns to the Athens State Orchestra

Fri. 24 February 2023 20:30

Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall

You may doubt that sounds can paint? And yet they can! If you want to ‘see’ an ancient forest deity flirting with beautiful nymphs, a couple in love exchanging passionate kisses by the sea under the mid-day sun, bustling celebrations in Baghdad, or a ship swept by raging seas onto the rocks, all you have to do is come to our concert, conducted by Nikos Haliassas, together with the famous mezzo-soprano Markella Hatziano! Because, for the first time, these images and many more besides will be brought to life before your eyes with the help of Katerina Barsukova's imaginative sand animation.

19:30, free introductory speech for ticket holders
