production of Megaron – the Athens Concert Hall

Wed. 21 June 2023 20:00

Megaron Concert Hall Gardens

With Neapolitan canzonetti, introductions from famous Italian operas, iconic Beatles hits and original jazz compositions and arrangements, this year the Garden welcomes the Music Day. The soprano Despina Skarlatou takes us on a journey to the charming melodies of the Italian South, accompanied by the Athens State Orchestra, which reminds us of two delightful introductions by Gioachino Rossini from the operas “The Barber of Seville” and “William Tell”. Yannis Poulakis conducts the orchestra.
