New Year Gala with the Athens State Orchestra

Faithful to its time-honoured festive rendezvous with its audience, the Athens State Orchestra welcomes in 2022 with beloved melodies from the opera and operetta repertoire, accompanying celebrated opera performers under the experienced baton of Byron Fidetzis. With a focus on Romanticism, from the Overture from Weber's The Marksman (an opera that premièred in 1821) to Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, which flirts heavily with jazz, this year's gala concert will be —as always— a wonderful musical prelude to the New Year!
