Odeon of Herodes Atticus

What happens when electric guitars, basses, amplifiers and synthesizers give their place to violins and double basses, clarinets, trombones and flutes, to render famous hits of the rock scene?
Acknowledged artists, each one in his own style, meet on stage and invite us to live the experience. The greatest hits of Scorpions, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen, AC/DC, Deep Purple and The Police, will be performed by the great musicians of the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and the Athens State Orchestra, under the direction of the conductor, composer and orchestrator Friedemann Riehle.
80 musicians, electric instruments, prestigious singers and Frantisek Hong, Frank Zappa's drummer, create a fascinating mixture of sounds, images and experiences we will enjoy under the Acropolis.

The program includes music and songs from legendary albums, such as Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side of the Moon” and “The Wall”, eminent songs of Deep Purple such as “Smoke on the Water” and “Perfect Strangers”, great hits of the Queen, such as “We are the Champions”, “A Kind of Magic”, as well as works of Led Zeppelin, Scorpions, AC/DC and Police.
